I made this over the summer and loved it! My friend and I helped ourselves to seconds (and thirds!). I used Pillsbury pizza dough and substituted spinach for the watercress. Will definitely make this again.11/24/09

This is a delicious recipe that would be ideal for summer and spring menus. I found it a bit tedious to put together by myself with the pistachios needing shelling and trimming the watercress. Next time I will do the prepwork earlier so it will come together easier under pressure.05/08/09
