We really liked this! I made a small batch for a family gathering, because I wasn't sure my family would like it, but it tastes so fresh, they ate it all! I took it to a potluck at work, and word spread quickly, and my dish was devoured before all the others. As usual,KitchenMistress hasn't posted a recipe that we haven't loved.
