One of my favorites! My whole family loved it. I didn’t change a thing. It’s so easy and a healthy dish!

Oh my. Enjoyed as is with vidallia onion instead of red. Next time will add in bell pepper dice or corn from the Cobb for extra crunch. We had this with Alton’s Grilled Pork Tenderloin. Going into the rotation for weekend bbq for spring/summertime.
