Ingredients

6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 trimmed string beans
15 baby carrots, halved
3 ears fresh husked corn, halved
2 small yellow squash, trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
2 small zucchini, trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
2 cups broccoli florets
2 teaspoons spike seasoning or 2 teaspoons other sodium-free seasoning
2 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon fresh grated parmesan cheese

Method

Combine the garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and black pepper in a small bowl to make the dressing and set it aside.
Pour water into a large pot until it sits just beneath the level of a steamer insert.
Once the water boils, place the string beans and carrots into the steamer basket.
Cover the pot and allow the vegetables to steam for about 3 minutes.
Introduce the corn, yellow squash, zucchini, and broccoli to the steamer basket.
Replace the lid and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until the vegetables reach your preferred tenderness.
Transfer all the steamed vegetables onto a serving platter.
Position the corn pieces around the platter's edge and dust them with the Spike seasoning.
Pour the prepared dressing over the remaining vegetables and scatter the cheddar and parmesan cheeses on top.
Cover the platter loosely with foil and let it stand for a few minutes before you serve.
