  1. I made this for a Greek-themed dinner party. Everyone thought it was a very delicious salad. I included all the ingredients and was taken with how the flavor of the mint gave me an "Oh wow" kind of sensation. I am not familiar with Greek cuisine so this was very enlightening for me. Something I would make again for me and my husband.
     
  2. This was absolutely delicious! I served a big bowl of this, without the mint, and me and my hubbie happily gobbled this all up (followed by Dunkin' Donuts-sorta nets of!) I'll be making this a lot, thank u!
     
  3. This was very good. I left out the mint leaves because I'm not a big fan so probably I altered the taste quite a bit from what it should be and I also did'nt use the perreroncini peppers as I did'nt have any but I thoroughly enjoyed the salad even with those two ingredients missing.
     
  4. So good! I served this at a bagels-and-lox brunch alongside other salads, and it went perfectly. I would not omit the mint--it enhances all the other flavors. This salad keeps well for leftovers, too.
     
  5. Dee-licious. The flavor of the dressing is perfect! I didn't use mint or pepperoncinis. I served this salad as the main dish, with a 'side' of leftover soup.

Tweaks

  1. Add anchovies diced for a true Greek salad!
     
  2. Made & reviewed for ZWT 4 ~ Kumquat's Kookin Kaboodles! I halved this recipe as it was just for DH and I. I used apple vinegar in place of red wine vinegar & Algerian olives in place of the Kalamatas, other than that I stuck to the recipe & it produced a delicious refreshing salad. We ate this with Recipe #305221 Thanks Sue :)
     
  3. Awesome salad! The dressing was wonderful. Used dried basil instead of oregano and loved it. Topped it off with tomato and basil feta. We really enjoyed this super recipe and it will definitely be made many more times. Thanks, Sue.
