This is just a classic--a delicious combination of flavors that really highlights the toasted pine nuts! I added some sliced red pepper as I had some to finish up, but otherwise left well enough alone. Thanks for posting, CG! Made for Veg* Swap #19.

A nice easy salad that is easy to throw together. Definitely should use mesclun greens for this.
