Delicious! To be honest, I must tell what I did differently: I used bulgur wheat instead of basmati rice, and I couldn't help adding a little bit of chopped fresh parsley. Everything else was according to the recipe. This was a very fresh, light and healthful lunch! I LOVED it! Delicious bites of different flavors on every spoonful. Thanks, ieatfoOOd.
