  1. This is a lovely vegie dish that has been included in my regular repertoire. I seasoned with Goya Adobo all purpose seasoning. (it is one of my favorite seasonings that "take care of" when you want more flavor in your dish and want to use it instead of salt). My family loved it as well.
     
  2. DH and I loved this flavorful side dish! It was a great way to use up cherry tomatoes and zucchini from the garden. I also love kalamata olives and balsamic so I knew this would be a winner. All of the herbs I also picked fresh from the garden. I will definitely make this veggie dish again. Thanks!
     
  3. This was delish! Clean, simple and very tasty. I made it with summer squash instead of zucchini and hubby agreed it was a great side dish.
     
  4. Wonderful use of vegetables. A great side dish option. Thanks for posting!
     
  5. I made the full 6 servings for dinner tonight along side recipe#47663 and its all gone! I was looking for something that had fresh veggies that I could use from my garden and this was just the ticket. I halved some of the tomatoes and left a few whole. I might reduce the amount of kalamata's next time because a little goes a long way with them. Made for ZWT4.
