Summer doesn't have to be all about BBQ ribs, burgers and corn on the cob. We've got a nutritious yellow squash recipe that won't have you slaving over the grill. Serve this delicious yellow squash curry bowl over your choice of grains. Top with steamed or roasted veggies for a balanced, colorful lunch or dinner. Read on to learn more reasons to make this summer squash bowl!

Summer Coconut Cashew Curry

Fast & No Oven or Grill Required

Craving a warm dinner or lunch, but don't want to turn on the oven or grill? We don't either. Look no further than this recipe. Whip it up quickly on your stovetop. Then serve with whatever you already have leftover in the fridge. For grains and seeds, pull out that extra farro, rice, quinoa or millet. Feeling like noodles? Try topping your extra spaghetti, rice noodles or other noodles with this yellow squash curry.  For an additional boost of veggies, try cauliflower rice. 

Round out your bowl with leftover veggies in the fridge. Whether they are roasted, grilled or raw, they are the perfect accompaniment to this bowl. Have some fresh herbs that are wilting in the produce drawer? Chop those up and scatter them on top.

This bowl is fantastic served either hot or cold, depending on your mood.

Healthy

This recipe is dietitian approved! Why? Turmeric offers a highly anti-inflammatory boost. Tofu packs complete protein. And add JOI for creaminess and healthy fats. This may be your new favorite summer bowl: nutritionally balanced and delicious. 

No Yellow Squash? No Problem.

The great thing about this recipe is that it is really versatile. Have a bumper crop of green zucchini this summer? Use that instead! Or mix in a variety of veggies for a more colorful curry. Green beans, new potatoes, tomatoes, peppers...the possibilities are endless. And when fall comes around, substitute the summer squash with winter squash! Simply adjust the cooking time. Always add vegetables that required longer cooking times first.

And if you have kids at home, get them in the kitchen to help you make these super simple Coconut JOI Pops. Fun and great for the whole family!
