This recipe was submitted to Semi-homemade magazine by Courtney Dollar. It is a great accompaniment to a picnic, backyard bbq or anywhere you need multiple dishes that are easy to make and go well with a variety of foods. Super with chicken or sandwiches. If you substitute tri-color pasta it makes it even more colorful when matched with the fresh vegetables. You can add onions for more flavor but it is good without too. Enjoy! ChefDLH
