We really enjoyed this, light tasty salad. I couldnt find the lemon-infused white balsamic vinegar, so I used white balsamic vinegarm then add about one half teaspoon lemon juice. Great recipe.
Loved this! Perfect flavors for a nice light pasta dish that did not feel too heavy. We grilled some chicken and sliced it over the top, which made this a filling entrée!
