    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
