I loved the raisins and walnut combination. I left out the pimiento as I didn't have any, but I did use the parmesan. I used a lot less oil. Thanks!

Quite tasty!! Loved the different textures and tastes! Used prosciutto and a little less oil. Thanks Sydney!

This is a great combination, oil and garlic with raisins and nuts. Very tasty, and quick and easy to make. Because it is not low-cal, low-fat I would recommend counting this as 8 servings with a light salad or vegetable on the side. Made for Holiday Tag Game. Thanks for posting Syd!
