I added capers, sun-dried tomatoes & balsamic vinegar, and put it all into a bowl of pasta for a garden pasta salad. I used homegrown tomatoes, basil, and a red bell pepper, which made this meal much more rewarding!

Perfectly delicious! I made as posted except the grocery store did not have basil (no surprise there) so I used dried basil instead. Thank you Sage/Rita for sharing. Made for ZWT4 for the Flying Dutchess'.

This was a great Summer salad, this being the first weekend of Summer and all :) Very fresh tasting, loved the basil and tomatoes, thanks for sharing this. Made this for ZWT4 for the Chic Chefs.

We really enjoyed this salad! I used marinated artichoke hearts also. I love the combination of veggies. Great salad that I will definitely make again.

I also used marinated artichoke hearts and fresh veggies from the garden. This is highly addictive and with my tomatoes and bell peppers competing with one another, something I will make many times over throughout the summer.
