  Not much beyond sum of its ingredients really. Seems to lack a bit of body too, holding the composition together. But to a large extent a tasty mix of commonly and rarely used foods nevertheless.

  Used sun-dried tomatoes and feta rather than cherry tomatoes and mozarella.

  Delicious and very simple to make. I always make a bit more of the pesto sauce and add a little bit of honey to balance out the citric flavour.

  A perfect salad for a vegetarian picnic. Keep the dressing in a separate container until ready to serve, then toss, to prevent getting soggy leaves.

  I have no idea what i could have done much different from everyone else, except miss out the avocados, but i thought this was fairly tasteless...the mozerela added absolutely nothing, whereas feta or goats may have been tasty.

  This was really yummy as part of a cold buffet.... I must admit I added caster sugar to the dressing and it took away that overly bitter twang. Everyone loved it!

  Great combination, had it with cold meats left over from Christmas. Will definitely have again. Would go down well at a bbq.

  Good to take to work as a lunch - i also use feta and i find mozarrella too bland and if you dont have pesto, just simple olive oil and lemon dressing is just as nice. I also sometimes make it "quattro-colore" but adding yellow or orange pepper" yum yum yum

  This looked good and tasted good. To make it suitable for vegetarians, I left out the pesto and used blitzed basil leaves.
