Even though I didn't have some ingredients like red wine vinegar and fresh herbs, this still turned out PHENOMENAL. I added extra cheese and subbed in rice vinegar for the red wine vinegar. Also used garlic powder and dried herbs instead of what the recipes calls for. I can only imagine how delicious it would've been if I followed it to a T.01/07/10
