Nice change of pace salad for the summer. Although it doesn't indicate when to add the feta cheese I added it with the dressing in step 5. This recipe makes a lot of dressing but the leftover dressing will make a delicious marinade for a later use.

We loved this... I subbed goat cheese crumbles for the Feta and left out the pecans. We esp. liked the dill and garlic flavor combo. Thanks for this keeper.

I added chick peas and kidney beans. Used rice wine vinegar and walnuts instead. This salad is amazing...quick and easy and DELICIOUS.

I made this for our big Thanksgiving dinner. They were a huge hit! Everyone loved them, and I've been assigned to making them again next year...lucky for me because they are super easy and fast to make!

Refreshing salad, I will make this again. I used only half of the dressing and less pecans and less feta cheese and fresh cooked beans.
