    That’s a good idea for meat eaters but as it’s a vegetarian recipe I hope the Vegos still give it 5 stars Thebartlettbunch:

    Yum!  An absolute hit and so easy to make.  I even got hubby to eat it, someone who has declared several times 'I don't eat beans'.  I do't think he even noticed them it was so tasty. :0)

    Sorry. I gave a silly description. That must've been frustrating especially if you were halfway through cooking it - my apologies! I'd use a nice full cup of herbs (traditional measuring cup not TMX measuring cup)

    You mix it through at the end before serving

    Thank you - yes I'd say about a full cup of the herbs

    It says to mix in Parmesan after the pesto, I used a decent handful of basil and parsley tmrc_emoticons.)

    Does the Parmesan cheese go in at step 3 or 4?

    Sorry but what do you class as a "scoop"?

    Yum, a lovely salad. I used cashews as my husband doesn't like pine nuts much.  I might make some bacon shavings to sprinkle on top - that might boost it to 5 stars. Thank you.
