Pretty good. I've made this twice now. I think next time I will try making with goat cheese as another reviewer suggested, as it is lacking a little bit of flavor. The second time I made it, I could not find any thyme so substituted Herbs de Provence, which was good. I also used blood orange-infused olive oil on the salad. This is a solid recipe and good for a quick and easy dinner.
