Zucchini & Summer Squash Skillet

This is a quick, flavorful side dish that is sure to please. I like to cook this in the summer when fresh zucchini and summer (yellow) squash are abundant. If you would like a stronger onion flavor, substitute 1/2 cup of sliced onions for the scallions--or use both!
