Different vegetables have different cooking times.  I have grouped some together here for you to make meal time a little easier.  One of the healthiest ways to saute vegetables is in a fry pan on medium heat with 3 or 4 Tbsps of low-sodium, no-MSG vegetable or chicken broth.  Cover and simmer for the allotted time suggested below.  Also below see the Mediterranean Dressing that is great to serve with all of these vegetables.

3 Minutes:

• fresh peas
• summer squash (zuchhini)
• chopped tomato

5 Minutes

• red or white cabbage
• cauliflower
• asparagus
• broccoli
• carrots
• brussel sprouts
• green beans
• collard greens

7 Minutes

• onion
• mushrooms
• bell pepper
• eggplant
• leeks
• cubed sweet potato

Mediterranean Dressing:

• 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive oil
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 4-5 cloves of garlic crushed
• salt & pepper taste.

Once you have sauteed your veggies, toss with this delicious dressing for a quick and easy dinner.  You can even throw in some cooked chicken, seafood or beef.

Enjoy,
