Back to Blog List Page

As a twist on traditional, this recipe replaces tomatoes with green veggies. We’ve used zucchini, growing in abundance in summer gardens now, and asparagus to add a little crunchy texture. Pair with a dollop of savory goat cheese for a quick grilled summer appetizer or snack.
