    This is a wonderful dish - thanks for sharing. I made it a little simpler and used a prepackaged lite balsamic vinegarette dressing and added sundried tomotoes. We have this often! - 8/11/08

    Good
    Only giving 3 stars b/c it needed extras...I added cucumbers, artichoke hearts, grape tomatoes and some garbanzo beans. I also had some fresh basil on hand and threw that in. With the modifications it was yummy! - 7/7/08

    This dish sounds really good, however, there are a lot of carbs and fat for a side dish. Add chopped egg, and I may use it as a main entree. - 7/7/08

    We enjoyed this salad, but with a few modifications. I changed the veggies a bit and added a couple different seasonsings. It was great! - 7/7/08

    Sounds good. I agree with the idea of adding some more veggies and spices to liven things up a bit. My biggest concern though is the fat content...I bet it tastes great but I don't think I could bring myself to eat one serving of something that is so high in fat! - 7/7/08

    I will try this. I might also add some fresh red and green pepper (capsicum) to add some more colour and flavour. - 7/7/08

    This sounds like only the start of a good salad...where are the colorsand textures? I'd add chickpeas...black beans, red & yellow peppers, slivered zucchini and some zesty fresh herbs. - 7/7/08

    Very Good
    I made this several times - sometimes without the oil. I think it's very tasty just as written, but is also a good base to start with for you to add your own favorite veggies if you want. - 3/24/07
