Made this for the first time today. We had company who are health conscious people and they loved that it was simple yet had such wonderful flavor. We as host also thought that this side was spectacular and can compliment many main dishes. I will be making this regularly and especially now that our tomatoes have have started to ripen on the vine! Thanks for the recipe Apricot20 Read More

You cannot go wrong with this salad. A wonderful twist on Italian Caprese Insalata. I always make the standard but now will add this to my repertoire. Thanks for the idea! Read More

What really makes this recipe is the addition of olives and let it sit at room temp for the full 15 mins before consuming...Tough to do because it looks so good but it does make a difference. Thanks for sharing. Read More

This recipe is the perfect example of eating vegetables in season and using the best ingredients you can afford! Here in NJ it's not tomato season yet but once our tomatoes come in we eat this salad with and without the cheese every day! And if you can splurge on some really good olive oil--a little goes a long way! Read More
