Absolutely delicious and really easy to make. I think a little extra basil is all that would improve this recipe.

This was kind of bland. I think it needed some bacon or something along those lines for some more flavor. It was definitely better the next day.

I made this dish for my family tonight and they loved it! My husband enjoyed the different flavors and my daughter just liked it all around. I have forwarded this recipe on to two friends and family members.

This recipe is so good! I have made it cold (to serve at tailgates) and hot as a meal. Both are wonderful!

Pretty good! I didn't use the sun dried tomatoes or fresh basil because they didn't have them when I was getting the ingredients. It'd be good hot or cold. I also didn't use the italian dressing mix, but garlic and herb mix. It was still really good!

Delicious... We don't like feta... so I sprinkled grated parmesan cheese on top and it was great!
