I didn't like the idea of having salad dressing, so I used a high quality olive oil with really good olive-y flavour. It was very good! -
there just isn't anything not to love about this. It is ultra simple, but just oh so perfect. I used provolone cheese and the dressing was Ken's Steak House olive oil vinegarette, but concept was the same. -
We ate this for lunch along with Flemish Minx's Shrimp Pasta Salad #89551. This was a great Mediterranean luncheon. I did use the red peppers on mine on sour dough sandwich buns! Yum!! -
OK, I am not going to give this any stars simply because I altered the recipe so much. I made this last night using mozzarella cheese on regular bread with Italian dressing. It was fantastic and soooo flavorful. I think I am going to add Italian Dressing to all my grilled cheese sandwiches. I can't wait to try the real recipe! Thanks L4C! -
Loved this too. I didn't use red peppers either - not because I didn't have any - I always have a jar in my pantry, but because I was sure I'd enjoy this more with sliced tomatoes. It was awesome!

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
