Delicious! I added about 1/2 cup of diced genoa salami and left out the salt. We didn't have fresh basil, so I used the basil that comes in a paste in a tube from the produce section and it worked, but I am sure that fresh would have been better. Cannot wait to try it over mixed greens, too. Thanks.

I make this all the time but I add some garlic to it. Be careful not to add too much though because it can get really strong.mmmmm my mouth is watering thinking about it. Sometimes I use the coctail sized bocconcini balls and cherry tomatoes just for a convience. Less cutting to do...
