Wow, this was awesome. Day 1 and I was struggling to find something quick to make. Thanks so much.

This is a great lunch to bring to work. However, I left the balsamic vinegar off since I had no way to bring it to work....and it was still a great lunch!

This is delicious! It was like a party for my taste buds. I love the spicy and tangy flavor. I wish I could give it 10 stars. I will definately be making this again! Thanks for posting it.
