I got this recipe from one of Nigella Express cookbook. This cookbook is all about fast but delicious recipes. I made this for the first time when a friend came to visit for one night. We hadn't seen each other for few years and we had some catching up to do and I thought that this light but delicious all in one plate meal was the perfect thing to enjoy while chatting. The first time I added some chicken pieces, but I made it other times without it and it's just as delicious. The thing that I most like about is that all the vegg. are left uncooked, making the dish light and fresh in your mouth...plus it compensate for feeling guilty about the not-so-light dressing! ;)
