Awesome made it with bbq ribeye
Love this salad. Made this today for a picnic and it was perfect. Loved the simple lemon vinaigrette .Fresh and full of flavour . Will makes this often. Thanks Giana.
Made this today for lunch . Loved the castelvetrano olives. I had never tried them. We had garden tomatoes that really added to the taste of summer! Definitely a keeper recipe!
I am not an olive lover but put red grapes in & it was amazing. Greatrecipe
I love this recipe! And Giada's amazing smile!
