  1. This was a tasty, refreshingly cool salad that was enjoyed on a very hot Illinois day. I took this to a baby shower luncheon. The ladies loved it. The basil is a wonderful added flavor to this salad - don't skimp on it! And the sesame oil also added a nice flavor. I believe toasted almonds could be good also, in place of the pecans. Thanks for a great main course salad!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
