This recipe was great and can be altered in all kinds of ways. I thought of you Melissa when I was eating it, wishing we could be sharing it together and raving over it. :-) I couldn't stop complimenting it the whole time we were eating, but the kids did not like it quite as much. I think it will take a minute for them to get used to eating cold dishes. But that's raw food for you I guess. The onion, garlic and basil really popped in my mouth.
