I think I would add some squash to the mix--summer or winter or both. I tend to amp up the veges whenever & wherever possible. Also, you could add red/yellow and/or orange sweet peppers--I preferr these to green peppers because they don't have the mildly bitter edge of green peppers. For that matter, greens might make a good addition--kale, chard, mustard greens, turnip greens, etc, are nutritional powerhouses, and very tasty to boot.

Good idea! I should try adding that next time.
