Ingredients:
6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 trimmed string beans
15 baby carrots, halved
3 ears fresh husked corn, halved
2 small yellow squash, trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
2 small zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
2 cups broccoli florets
2 teaspoons spike seasoning or 2 teaspoons other sodium-free seasoning
2 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon fresh grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Mix all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
Fill a large pot with water, until it’s just below the steamer insert.
Bring to a boil and put the string beans and carrots in the steamer basket.
Cover and cook about 3 minutes.
Add the corn, yellow squash, zucchini, and broccoli.
Recover and cook another 2 minutes, or until veggies are as tender as you’d like.
Place the veggies on a platter.
Arrange the corn around the edges and sprinkle them with the Spike seasoning.
Drizzle the dressing over the other veggies and top with the cheeses.
Cover with foil for a few minutes before serving.
