Rinse tomatoes, cut in half, remove stalk and cut into wedges. Rinse scallions, trim and cut into 1 inch wide rings. Peel garlic and shallots and finely chop. Mix summer squash in a bowl with slices of bell pepper, tomatoes, scallions, shallots and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Add butternut squash, olive oil and herbs and mix.
