This dish has a really authentic Italian flavor. I was not sure my children would particularly dig this dish, but they surprised me and it got raving reviews! Could not believe it. Not because it isn't really delicious, but because it's kinda sophisticated with a tangy flavor like a vinaigrette dressing.
