I've made something similar, but without the pine nuts. It's a great summer salad. -
I thought this was wonderful. I made them in layers with vidalia onions (didn't have red onions) and very FRESH tomatos. Next time I will add garlic, basil and cheese between the layers and drizzle with olive oil on top. Thanks fora wonderful summer dish!
