Oh this is awesome! I just saw Jamie Oliver make something quite similar but it was served hot. I bet this would be amazing cold! Thanks for posting it!

I made this last night and it was WONDERFUL! The flavors were excellent and it was almost all devoured. I followed the recipe exactly and used fresh herbs. I served it warm and loved it that way but will eat the tiny amount left cold with my lunch today. Thanks for sharing this one– I will make this many times.
