"My mother and I get recipe ideas from watching TV cooking shows and looking through magazines, then substitute ingredients we prefer," says Amy Brosman of Kansas City, Missouri. "That's how we created this tasty and colorful side dish," And at 30¢ a serving, it's a bargain, too.

I love this side dish. I've been making it for years and everyone always remarks how good it is. I usually serve it with grilled salmon.
