I got this recipe from a friend. Its a very easy and light main dish, great for summer evenings. I serve it with a spinach salad and bread.
When I bring this dish to a church supper I always get asked for the recipe.
A big thanks to Pat Duran for her terrific picture She used cooked chicken and this variation turned out great.
