This was okay. The basil dressing was not great.

Have only just found this but saved to make for later this week... Sounds great for a quick summer meal...I do think i will add some sort of dressing...

This recipe was tasty, easy & could be easily modified to "use what you have." I think I'd add bacon, olives, shredded carrots to it next time. Since there is no dressing, it would be an easy dish to take to a picnic, and you could easily substitute a non-creamy (Russian, Italian, etc) dressing.
