MeMa Rie's Zippy Zucchini

MeMa Rie's Zippy Zucchini brings tender sautéed squash together with sweet onions and mellow garlic, perked up by a pinch of cayenne and a bright hit of apple cider vinegar. It’s light, tangy, and gently spicy, perfect alongside grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a simple pasta on weeknights or casual gatherings.
