Everyone loved this salad. Served it with 153163 (Monterey Barbecue Chicken) Had many requests for the recipe. Great flavor with the fresh basil. Only change I made was that I used a hunk of french bread with the crusts as I was serving that bread with my meal, and i didn't have any reg.white bread. Delicious!!!! Thanks looney.
