this was awsome. made for a pinic everyone loved it. i did add some chick peas. next time i would use a fresh mozzarella cubed just a preference. i think it would take on the flavor of the dressing beautifully. thanks for the keeper.

This was really good. I did not have any pimentos but I am sure they would have been fantastic in this recipe. I also used red wine vinegar instead of the white, because I didnt have any. Thanks for posting this!

Lee, You've done it again. Another 5-star recipe. The melding of flavors was fantastic. Would not change a thing. Elevated the main Italian dish it was served with. This will become another treasured recipe. Thnx for posting.
