I loved this recipe. I cubed my veggies, rather than coins and used vegetable broth. It was kind of soupy, so i strained the broth, and added whole wheat couscous... was just as good cold as it was hot. I will keep this one and make it over and over again using whatever vegetables are on hand.

Great use of summer veggies! Prep work takes a bit of time, but the fresh light taste is well worth it.

I love this recipe because of all of the vegetables! It takes little time and is delicious! My in-laws were over for dinner and loved it too. We ate it on a hot summer day in Miami and were completely satisfied (we let it cool down a bit more than we would usually would because of the heat outside but we loved it). You should try this recipe:)
