I really liked this, It would be better for summer than winter, but we would suggest to cut down the amount of sugar by a little (it was a little sweet) use a very high quality extra virgin oil, and add a chicken breast so it will fill you up more.

On the bland side and not particularly filling. Not too bad though. Makes for something really quick and easy.
