DH and I loved this flavorful side dish! It was a great way to use up cherry tomatoes and zucchini from the garden. I also love kalamata olives and balsamic so I knew this would be a winner. All of the herbs I also picked fresh from the garden. I will definitely make this veggie dish again. Thanks!

This was delish! Clean, simple and very tasty. I made it with summer squash instead of zucchini and hubby agreed it was a great side dish.

I made the full 6 servings for dinner tonight along side microwave polenta and its all gone! I was looking for something that had fresh veggies that I could use from my garden and this was just the ticket. I halved some of the tomatoes and left a few whole. I might reduce the amount of kalamata's next time because a little goes a long way with them. Made for ZWT4.
