This was delicious!!! The only change I made was to use halved cherry tomatoes because I don’t enjoy the texture of sun dried tomatoes. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!!

The only problem I had with this recipe was coming up with the ingredients, went to four stores to find kalamata olives, every one was out of fresh basil, but I kept looking, and it was well worth the extra trouble when it all came together. This is a very refreshing dish! My husband says it is a keeper!
