This dish was a waste of time and ingredients. The vegetables were not grilled properly and the picada topping was dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I would not recommend this recipe. The vegetables were mushy and the picada topping was flavorless. I was very disappointed.

The instructions in the recipe were a bit unclear. I ended up overcooking the vegetables. The picada topping was also a bit too salty for my taste.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The picada topping was good, but it didn't do much to improve the flavor of the vegetables.

The picada topping is a game-changer. It adds so much texture and flavor to the grilled veggies. I also love that this dish is so versatile. You can use any type of vegetables you like, and it's great for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
