Yes, botanically speaking, squash is a fruit because it grows from a flower. But in the kitchen, we treat it like a vegetable—no need to put it in a fruit salad.
So when you’re grilling green squash alongside your steak, you’re technically eating fruit with meat. Doesn’t that sound fancy?
Now go ahead: buy that green squash without hesitation. Call it zucchini, call it summer squash, call it Suzy if you want. What matters is that you enjoy it—maybe with a little garlic and butter, just like Sally and I did.
