This is a beautiful summer side when you’re looking for something different. Goes great especially with roasted chicken as shown.

*Note: In the photo above, I used chopped stripey heirloom tomatoes from my garden (that’s why they’re not red). Also, the chicken pictured is from my Roast Chicken with Lemon and Garlic.
*Another Note: I adapted this recipe from one in Cuisine Magazine. I searched the website and could not find this recipe online to provide a link.
