This was good! When I tasted the dressing I thought it was going to be terrible, but when it all came together it was very yummy! I think it tasted better room temp the first day than cold the second. Oh, and I had a beer with this (Blue Moon)- the lemony taste from the dish got stuck in the back of my throat for about 20 minutes and made it the most delicious beer I've ever had! -
fabulous salad! though, i didn't like smoked salmon as much i had hoped i would... not evelyn's fault though! the dressing (i omitted the white wine), capers, tortellini (i used whole wheat), and red onions were delish, though! i just ate around the salmon a bit... ;) tagged and made for the think pink tag game in honor of breast cancer awareness month. -
I thought the dressing was a little astringent, so would next time either leave out one tablespoon of the lemon juice or omit the wine. There was plenty of dressing too, so perhaps I should have just used less? Anyway, the salad was a nice filling lunch! -
Evelyn...I loved this...I made this & was hoping my boyfriend wouldn't like it that much...I was wrong!! I omitted the capers because I don't care for them but otherwise went right by the recipe. -
This was excellent. Great flavor on the dressing! I actually didn't have any white wine on hand, and I made a mental note to splash a touch of white wine vinegar in, but I forgot. And it was still wonderful. I also used low fat sour cream and spinach and cheese filled tortellini since that's what I had in the pantry. One note: I used dried dill for this because it was the ONLY ingredient I didn't have, and I didn't have time to go back out to the store. The dried dill still gave the dish that nice dill flavor, BUT I know this recipe would knocked my socks off with the fresh! Thanks Evelyn, will make this again!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
