Steamed Acorn Squash with Lime and Green Onions

A healthy recipe with a bright citrus flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 small acorn squash
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped fine

Directions

Halve squash lengthwise and discard seeds and strings. Using outer ridges as a guide, cut squash lengthwise into sections. Arrange squash on a steamer rack in a saucepan and steam over boiling water, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
While squash is steaming, in a bowl whisk together lime juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.   On a platter drizzle squash with dressing and sprinkle with scallion.
