Wonderful! I used a yellow bell pepper instead of green and probably a touch more cayenne, but otherwise just as directed. I put about a quarter cup of the mixture into my turkey and swiss pita for lunch today - it was awesome! It was also good on its own, but I think I'd reduce the oil just a tad. Made for ZWT5.

Delicious salad. I had family over and so this salad along with some appetizer were served before our meal. Everyone loved it. I did add less thyme cuz one of my daughters don't care for the taste of it, so when a recipes asks for thyme I always add 1/2 of what the recipe calls for. I also added cucumbers and black calamata olives instead of green cuz that is what I had on hand. Good and refreshing Thank you and will make again during summer. Made by member of "Cooks With Dirty Faces" for ZWT5 Zingo

A nice refreshing salad. I used fresh herbs and think that the addition of onion would be a plus. I plan to remember this recipe when my fresh garden tomatoes start to ripen. Made for *ZWT 5*

Very nice and a light side course. I did add fresh garlic and fresh herbs. Lovely with summer arriving up north. Thanks for sharing. I made this for ZWT5. Rita
