Vegetable Primavera

Squash, carrots, sweet pepper and broccoli combine to create a festival of colors—and just four simple ingredients make up the sauce.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups sliced yellow summer squash
1 cup packaged, peeled baby carrots
1 cup chopped red sweet pepper
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley

Cooking Directions:

1. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth, the mustard, olive oil, and vinegar. Set aside.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add squash, carrots, and sweet pepper to hot skillet. Cook and stir about 5 minutes or until nearly tender. Add broccoli and the remaining 2 tablespoons chicken broth to squash mixture. Cover and cook about 3 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.
3. Stir in the mustard mixture; heat through. To serve, transfer vegetable mixture to serving bowl; sprinkle with parsley.
