Really easy and tasty; great for a weeknight. You could easily add some cooked chicken to it for a heartier meal.

This is so simple it's hardly like a recipe, but it's very good. I added fresh basil and oregano, as well as a can of drained artichoke hearts, a tablespoon of white wine, and a bit of crushed red pepper. Served with french bread and a crunchy romaine salad with kalmata olives and yellow bell pepper slices

All of the guests that I've served this to have loved it and many have asked for the recipe. It's unusual, fresh, and light...a great summertime meal!
