Let’s face it; the end of summer is fast approaching and the kids are back to school. This transition into fall marks a great opportunity to incorporate both summer and fall produce into your dishes. Ratatouille is a blend of colorful produce that is complimented nicely by the sweet and bold taste of KRAFT CATALINA Salad Dressing. This medley of zucchinis, tomatoes, eggplants, onions and sweet bell peppers is a great way to welcome the fall season and say farewell to the warm days of summer. Serve this dish warm or refrigerate leftovers and serve on bread or crackers.
