Notes
- Yield: this serves six as a light side dish. I'd say it serves about 3 for a light meal -- depending on whether you add anything and how hungry your crowd is, of course.
- Variations: try adding in feta, mozzarella, olives, chopped bell pepper, pepperoncinis, cubed avocado, or cubed stale bread (to make this like a panzanella). Add tuna or grilled chicken for more protein.
