Serve this platter with herbed pizza squares for a sumptuous starter. The interesting combination of lemon, honey and herbs in the dressing is what makes this starter and real five-starrer! However being a little high on the calorie and protein scale, it should be had in restricted serving size and as an occasional treat.
