Made this the day after Thanksgiving. Something new to go along with all the leftovers. Looked beautiful with all different color veggies lined up in groups. It tasted "good" and healthy. But the next day (Saturday) the leftovers tasted incredibly fantastic! Perhaps the veggies had a chance to marinate overnight? They were not soggy, still had crunch to them but flavors melded together. I didn't save any for my family but ate it all up for brunch!
