Great for a quick meal at home or to bring to a potluck dinner
This room-temperature salad is perfect for a quick evening meal or buffet table (just double the recipe). Feel free to substitute a red bell pepper for the yellow, and walnuts for the pine nuts to make it your own. Finish it off with a full-bodied extra virgin olive oil and your best balsamic vinegar to really amplify the flavor!
