I hosted a bridal shower this afternoon and decided to make this recipe from Giada Laurentis. It was so good and such a big hit. Everyone loved it. I tripled the recipe and substituted green olives for the black olives and it was very good and very refreshing. Read more . Looked beautiful on the buffet table as well. Enjoy
