Wonderful wonderful recipe - great with fresh sweet corn and garlic bread for dinner tonight - simplicity itself. (added a little bit of real bacon bits so Paul wasn't meat deprived) WONDERFUL STUFF!

Wonderful. A great, light-tasting sidedish. If you are a feta fan like me, you have to try this. Thanks!

Simple to make and simply delicious. Because I love garlic and because I wanted to add something a bit crunchy to vary the texture, I added 2 cloves of crushed garlic and 1/2 a cup of toasted pine nuts. This is a wonderful side dish which will complement grilled and BBQd fish and meat dishes or other vegetarian dishes. And it offers the versatility to enable you to add your own personal touches. Thank you JKC for a recipe which I know I shall make again.

This is wonderful. We served it over Fresh Spinach Salad with Balsamic Dressing. I used a separate tomato for the pulp though, and cut the dinner tomatoes in a "flower". AWESOME.
