  What a fabulous dish, just bursting with fresh flavours. I made my own pesto using the recipe found on here - delish! I'm looking forward to having the leftovers for lunch at work this week.

  I made this for lunch boxes and added diced cucumber to get some veggie content in. It was tasty, but rather basic!

  I've made this for parties many times and it always proves popular. Any leftovers, if there is any, are good to take to work for lunch.

  Enjoyed making this as it's v quick and easy and very good for lunch boxes. Also versatile; I added green beans and some roast leeks which I had left over from the sunday roast and a cubed ball of mozzarella which needed using up.

  Really nice, easy lunch for work. Added peas and cucumber. Would go nice with chicken too. It could probs do with a bit of onion. Delicious all the same!!
