Notes
- I've made this a few times weighing the veggies after I diced them to calculate the nutritional info more precisely. The exact amounts don't matter. A good size zucchini, a pint of grape tomatoes, two bell peppers and a hot pepper is all you need.
- If you don't have a fresh a hot pepper, a can of green chilis works just as good. I've used that a few times as well.
