I just tried this the other night for dinner and thought it was okay. But when I had it as leftovers today for lunch, I LOVED it! It was so much better because the flavors had time to mesh together and it was better served chilled. I grilled some chicken in the grill pan and chopped it up and added it to it with my serving. It was delicious!
