EXCELLENT. I loved this salad. I used recipe #185342 to make this a one plate meal and the combination of the two were just perfect. I will tell you that given DH doesn't like a lot of lemon and I cut this recipe down for the 2 of us, I applied the lemon zest and lemon juice directly to my salad and tossed them together. It was probably a little more than the recipe calls for for 1 serving, but I love lemon flavor. But besides that made this as directed. This will be a great summer time light dinner. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for Tic-Tac-Toe Fall 08'

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
