    Very tasty! Could not find nicoise olives, so I used capers for the briny flavor. Love Melissa's recipes.

    Another great recipe from the best food network chef. Wish we could see more of her and on a different show. At 84 and a lifelong cook I have learned more good tips from Melissa than any other. Her personality is a big plus as well. Thanks.

    Anchovies aren't listed in the ingredient list but I did watch the episode and Melissa put anchovies in the dressing. They definitely should not be eliminated.
