  1. We really enjoyed this salad it was very flavorful. This is a nice combination between the pilaf and the vegetables, I hope you don't mind but I added a little bit of cucumber. I am looking forward to having leftovers tomorrow. This is very tasty. Thankyou!!!!
     
  2. This salad is full of all the flavors we like best & is great visually. You look at it & know you are gonna love it! I was able to skip the early part of the prep as I found a pre-cooked pkg of rice that I microwaved for 2 min, so I moved right into the salad assembly. I used just half of the vinaigrette to suit a DH pers pref. I served this as our dinner meal at room temp over a bed of mixed greens & the 2 of us ate all of it in 1 sitting. Loved using the pine nuts I just discovered at my bargain grocery store! Thx for sharing this recipe w/a destiny to be repeated. :-)
