Simply elegant, is the best way I can describe this recipe. I used a frozen pea/pearl onion combo which gave it a bit more formal appearance, and I roasted red peppers from my garden (previously frozen) then peeled and diced them. It was absolutely beautiful, and would especially make an attractive Christmas side dish with the red, green and white colors. Thanks, Dorothy -- this one is a real keeper!

Simple easy and very attractive - I served this recipe with Turkey Kabobs, Cranberry Maple carrots and roasted potatoes. Started off with a shrimp cocktail . Thanks again Dorothy for another keeper
