    What a tasty and slightly different way to use your spring veggies.

    I left out the red peppers, because I am not a bell pepper fan. I had some fresh peas that I had steamed and threw them in instead.

    And in full disclosure, I accidentally left out the olives. Bought them special for the dish and found them in the fridge later. Not sure the dish needs them now that I've had it without.

    I wondered about the lemon vinaigrette, but it's fabulous. Makes sense since I love hollandaise on asparagus and it's lemon-based.
