For some reason, this recipe did not come through for me with the flavor punch I was expecting. I love BF's recipes, and it has plenty of texture (and is very healthy, it just lacks flavor punch for some reason. Will try adding olives and possibly some red pepper or jalapeños.
A prior reviewer asked who Sophie is - I believe she is Bobby's daughter. Very sweet that he named a recipe for her!

This is always a hit but the recipe posted here does not include the nicoise black olives that the original recipe contains. I sometime substitute the Greek calmative olives. As a previous poster stated, the dressing is a must. I add a tablespoon of honey as I like mine a little sweeter.

This salad is always a hit with guests. The only variation I do is the blue corn chips; I add crumbled (not too much store-bought blue corn tortilla chips.
