I added kalamata olives and sun dried tomatoes. Loved it. I liked it better as a warm dish, but cold was still tasty. Try adding capers, yum!!!

Absolutely wonderful! A hit every time. And so easy! We add chicken and sundried tomatoes as well, and we also buy the tomato and basil flavored Athenos feta cheese. The sundried tomatoes go really well in combination with the red peppers. We'll never make it again without them!

Yummy! Served this cold for a special lunch I hosted and was a hit. Seems fancy but is really simple. Will add either chicken or tuna next time. Usually add tomatoes instead of red peppers too 'cause that's what I have.

This is very good. Looks and tastes like it came from the deli - sophistocated. Unfortunately a couple of the measurements seem to differing from the sizes of jars avaiable so I had to by two.

I made it a main dish by adding diced ham and choppen onions or salami and black olives sound good too.

I served it cold exactly as the recipe details & it sure was a hit. If you take it to work as lunch leftovers, be sure to bring something for your breath as this is a bit potent.

I didn't have roasted red peppers so I used tomato like the other reviewer and it was very good. I will definitely make this again.
