This dish gives new meaning to the term "eye candy." The bold and vibrant rainbow from roasted peppers, eggplant, and zucchini brightens up your plate, and digging in will help protect your vision as well. Pigments found in this dish, known as carotenoids, have been found to prevent a range of conditions including the eye disease macular degeneration. Have watermelon cubes for dessert to really protect those peepers.
