Now that we are well into summer we have an abundance of fresh, healthy herbs from the garden, farmer’s market and grocery store. This recipe calls for 3 different herbs and is packed with nutrients and flavor. The rainbow of veggies and herbs are rich in antioxidants and provide all the B vitamins, as well as vitamin C and K, beta carotene, calcium, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc, and quercetin.
