This was really very good! The weather has turned cold for the last couple of days and the warm veggies were just perfect. I added a chopped garlic clove but the rest was by the recipe. The veggies are tender but not mushed and the mint and feta really give it something special. I stuffed a pita half with my portion and had hot mint tea with it. A lovely and sunny tasting recipe.

What a surprise treat this salad was for my tastebuds! Love the flavours, the mint in particular, that spring to life with each bite. This is so easy to prepare and so rewarding to serve to others and see the smiles of delight! Serves 4 generously as a side dish. Thanks for posting, Moor Driver!
