Good salad! I particularly liked the variety of veggies mixed with the low fat feta. I followed the recipe exactly as written, but I did feel that 1 whole red onion was a bit much for my taste. I ended up pulling about a palmful of the onion out before I tossed the salad. For my taste, I think that half of a red onion would have worked with the amount of broccoli florets and other ingredients. I also ended up using fresh basil leaves instead of the parsley, because that is what I had on hand.
