We made this for a Christmas dinner party for six and it was the hit of the night. Everyone wanted the recipe. While not inexpensive, it is a repeater for any very "special occasion" dinner. It is SO easy, really nothing more than assembling, and I made the gazpacho sauce the night before. Very fresh, and I can't wait to make it in the summer with tomatoes from the garden.
