Incredible! I love all these foods and I love the fact that it doesn't call for 3 dozen ingredients. Thanks for posting!

Very nice, although I used feta because it was what I had on hand. Simple and fresh.

I saw blood oranges for sale and went looking for a Zaar recipe. This did not disappoint. Made this with a mesculin mix of greens from my organic greengrocer. WOW! Blue cheese is popular in this house and I enjoyed my first opportunity to use blood oranges.
