I increased the amount of garlic and pine nuts. I also added a little lemon juice (as suggested by Ned -- thanks!).

I saw a recipe that adds arugula, which could be really nice. I just made this actually and ruined it by adding too much salt--i probably added a full teaspoon, maybe more. DON'T DO THAT.
I want to try switching out the pine nuts for walnuts and adding parsley to the mix. I also read an recipe from Whole Foods that adds fresh spinach leaves and pitted green olives. Slipping spinach in there sounds kind of brilliant.
