While we enjoyed this salad, we felt it was a bit too rich for our tastes. Next time I make this, I will probably substitute red-wine vinegar in place of the balsamic, or cut back on the amount of balsamic vinegar. I used fresh grape tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh oregano from our garden. We really enjoyed the flavor combinations of the feta cheese and the tomatoes! It's a great way to use the bounty from the garden! Thanks for posting!
