"With summer coming here in Aus. I want to start to eat more salads but I want healthy variety (not just the regular tomato, lettuce, cucumber thingy) - found this great little recipe book from the Women's Weekly called Simply Salads, so posting recipes here to keep and try."

I made this in the oven, and served as a warm side to roast chicken.<br/>I did follow the ingredient 's nearly exactly .............<br/>I did substitute with sliced portabella mushroom's for convenience, and it did help that they were on special pricing today. ;-) And also used homegrown cherry tomatoe's.<br/>The vinagariette did make a vast difference to the added flavour, and as a warm side this family thoroughly enjoyed this warm salad.<br/>I will make this again Pat, and thank you for a brilliant way to use mushrooms and tomatoes. -
Lovely mushroom recipe! The vinegarette was great with the mushrooms and tomatoes. I used baby portabellas and sliced them. Enjoyed these - thanks for sharing the recipe! -
Very good recipe Pat! I will be making this often through the summer. We especially liked the taste of the basil with the vinegarette. Thank you!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
