Yummy is right. I love marinated veggies so this recipe was perfect. I have to confess that I didn't wait overnight and subbed the watercress with romaine. It was a great sandwich and you won't even miss the meat! -
I thought this was quick and tasty. This is great to take on a float trip or a picnic, but I would wait till it was time to eat before I put it on the bread so it didn't get soggy. We loved just chopping everything together except the bread and cheese and having it on crackers or crusty bread sliced...yummy! Quick to take as an snack. -
Loved this! Actually, at first I thought the olive salad was lacking a bit so we added half of a squeezed lemon and 1-2 pepperoncinis to the food processor. This worked well. I subbed arugula for the watercress which also worked well. The final results were fantastic. I served as mini muffulettas in slider rolls at a progressive party. Very yummy. This ones a keeper!

I've been hanging around Zaar for a while, now and have found some really awesome recipes, but more importantly, some really awesome people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to try my recipes. Your reviews are a bright spot in my day.
I believe that life is a collection of lessons that we must do our best to learn. One that I'm working on now is not judging those who judge others. I've come across this quote and thought I'd put it here: "The world is long on judgment and short on understanding. Judging is easy and self-satisfying. Understanding requires perspective, experience, and empathy."-Unknown
