Reviews
This is a winner! I used most of the suggestions in the reviews and added whole wheat pasta to soak up the salt. It’s simple to make and most items are pantry friendly. It pairs very well with a jammy red wine.
It was too salty for my taste. It may be I don’t like anchovies! I love the other ingredients, so I’m going to try another batch without the fish.
My family loved it. I did add one can of cannellini white beans, as my son loves beans. It made it more of meal.
I LOVED THIS, BUT IT WAS MUCH TOO SALTY FOR MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF. I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN AND OMIT THE SALT. THERE IS ENOUGH SALTINESS FROM THE OTHER INGREDIENTS. RR, YOU ARE STILL A WINNER IN MY EYES!
Flavors blend so well together. The anchovie adds great flavor but cannot be singled out. I think this is something that I might start to crave.
The salad is so flavorful. I make it again and again – haven’t gotten tired of the recipe yet!
i made this for a dinner party i was having. it went well with every dish (pasta, seafood) and served as a salad and relish
My family loves this one. Of course we love anchovies. It rates right up there with Pasta Puttanesca. It’s so quick & easy to make as well.
This salad lives up to the show’s name “Major Flavor”. This salad is packed with flavor and goes great with just about any dish. Would also be great as a topper for fish and chicken. Definitely don’t scrimp on the anchovies!
This salad is excellent on a bed of spring greens! I was cautious about the anchovy, and added only half, but it was very good, and next time I’ll add more. I didn’t have fresh basil, but I had some pesto in the ‘fridge, and it was so good!
