This was quick, easy, & refreshing! I did use roasted garlic just because I had it! And I had to add more rosemary infused olive oil to iy before serving! Topped it off with toasted pine nut! -
Wonderful, easy recipe. I found this recipe from a clipping I had of the magazine. I wish I had read the previous comments, because I too thought that it needed more garlic. Perfect for summer barbecueing when you don't want to do alot of cooking. -
Very pretty salad, this was one of the salads I made for our Christmas dinner. Enjoyed by all. -
This was a great recipe! I used it for a family gathering, I was looking for something quick and different. I thought it needed more garlic though!
