Yummy lunch alert! I made this with leftover roasted veggies - yellow squash, onion, zucchini, red and green bell pepper, no carrots (personal preference). I also had leftover chicken breast, what luck. The dressing goes perfectly here as it is savory and balances out the sweetness of the roasted veggies. I used a little more fresh basil than was called for. Thanks for posting.

Super one-pot dish. I added potatoes to the grilled veggies and should've ommitted the pasta. Also added Italian sausage to the grill (for the hubby), and every bit of it was delicious! I think I may have added too much balsamic...it was a bit tangy for me, but otherwise, I will make it again and again! Thank you for posting this recipe.

I am married to a great guy and have three children. Two are in college and one is in high school. Besides cooking Zaar recipes, I love to read suspense novels and days at the beach (they go hand in hand in my opinion!). Recently we discovered a beach on the Atlantic that allows dogs, so we have been enjoying taking our two dogs for a romp in the waves.
I am totally addicted to 'Zaar and love all of the wonderful recipes I have found and made. Recently I have been low carbing it. I have found many of these wonderful recipes on 'Zaar that my family has really enjoyed - phew!
