  This recipe was easy to prepare and my family thoroughly enjoyed it. It stands alone well as a vegetarian dish, but you could easily add some sources of animal protein, like slices of hard-boiled egg or grilled chicken, or of course bacon. I wasn't able to find a salad bag with watercress in it, but one with mesclun, rocket and spinach turned out well. Note that when you buy pine nuts they are not usually ready toasted. I put mine in a small frying pan over low heat for a few minutes, shaking them around frequently, until they were browned.

  Absolutely delicious!!!! I added some steamed (or boiled) cauliflower and broccoli to bulk it up and it became a very filling healthy dinner! Even ideal for veggies! Will definitely make again! And it was SO easy to make!!!

  Horrid - it tasted of nothing except had a nasty bitter tang of aftertaste. The whole thing went in the bin and it is not often I give up completely on something!
