OMG - this is delicious!!! It makes a super lunch to pack and is very portable. I made it exactly as written, except I did not use stuffed green olives, but a olive combination that included green, kalamata, etc. and I increased the olives to a full cup (because I love olives). I also did not julienne the peppers, but chopped them instead. Anyway...this was delightful and will be made regularly. Thanks for posting. Made for All New Zaar Cookbooks Tag Game.

I pretty much live off this dish, and can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet. It is awesome! I omit the olive oil, while pretty much increasing everything else (an extra clove of garlic and a little extra dijon and vinegar). I eat it with lettuce and tomatoes, and it is dee-lish! Thanks for this gem!

This is wonderfully flavorful. I did cut back on the oil (I used half) so mine was a bit dryer but that was fine by me to trim the fat back. Loved the mustard and balsamic. This would be a great pic-nic take along for summer outings too. I used the capers and recommend them. I will definitely make this again.
