Wow, thank you for this recipe. The only thing that I did differently was leave the onion, and salt out. I used my homegrown organic carpathian garlic, so i was afraid that the onion would be too much. This salad is bursting with flavors. I'm going to make it for my daughters birthday visit next week.
