I just made a variation of this for supper, and it was so good! I cut the oil in half, left out the salt, added asparagus, used spinach as my greens, and used dried mint. Oh, and since I don't have a grill, I roasted the veggies near the top of the oven for 20-30 minutes at 450 F. My husband suggested adding figs next time, which I might do. Anyway, thanks for the recipe!
