What a very fresh salad. :) I scaled this down for 2 and used fresh cherry tomatoes diced and added some chopped Kalamata olives. Also stirred in 1 tablespoon olive oil prior to topping with the feta cheese. Served this with Recipe #423347. Thanks for this wonderful recipe, a keeper! * Made for SSaSSy's ZWT 6 *

OMG! I loved this! I was a bit sceptical about there being no salt or pepper listed but I made it as written and can't fault it, wonderful! And so low in fat!!! Yay! I've found my diet friendly Summer salad, will go great with bbq Greek marinated lamb steaks. Thank you for posting, made for ZWT6.
