Fantastic recipe! I didn't have cucumber or fresh tomatoes so added sundried tomatoes instead. Also added red + orange bell pepper along with the green. And put in a handful of chopped fresh basil leaves. It was yummy, filling + nutritious. Next time I'm going to add a can of garbanzo beans or black beans + see how that goes.

Great recipe!!! Have made it several times now - each time changing one or two things and still loving it. I make a batch on Sunday and have it for lunch throughout the week. Have also brought it to get togethers and everyone has raved about it.
