This vegetable sauté is the perfect complement to Rach's "Easter feaster" meal. It's colorful, light, quick and easy. We'll be making it all spring long! 

The rest of the menu includes her Deviled Egg Salad Bites, Lemon Pepper Lamb Chops and Roast Chicken and Roasted Baby Potatoes and Radishes. For dessert, Rach's sister, Maria, whipped up a Pistachio-Walnut Carrot Cake AND Pecan Pie Bars. And don't forget John's Limoncello Negroni!
