Fabulous! I made this for mother's day lunch and my girls and I loved it. I used feta cheese. I will for sure make this again. Perfect if you want to impress company. I could not find pomegranate molasses so I used a recipe I found on this site.

Excellent. I made this with a change of vinegar to be halal. I used organic apple cider vinegar and a little bit of white sugar in place of the red wine vinegar. I used canola oil, sea salt, spring greens, pine nuts, soft goat cheese, plus the rest of the ingredients. I would make this again! Made for Veggie Swap # 44 ~ March ~ 2012
