I am about to make this for the second time this week! It's early May and we are having an early heat wave- 90 degrees lately. I came to Food looking for recipes that were cool and refreshing, and this fit the bill. The first time I made exactly as written and it was very, very tasty. Today I am subbing gorgonzola for the feta and basil and oregano for my fresh herbs. We will be enjoying this salad during the hot months we have here at the beach. Thank you for posting.
