We really enjoyed this with our steaks last night. I did add some jalapenos along with the red bell peppers but other than that made as directed. Really liked the red pepper flakes for that little zip we like. May change the dressing around next time. Used spring mix greens that went well with the grilled veggies. Thanks

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
