Submitted by Bev I Am

"A great way to use your summer vegetables. The olives add an unexpected salty flavor. Could be served as a main dish accompanied with some corn bread. Enjoy!"

Saturdy night is my hamburger night and this sald was fabulous along side the burger with oven fries! I didn't change a thing. The hint of mint is great especially with the feta. This is like a new twist to a greek salad Thanks Bev

Really wonderful salad! I had 2 avocados that I needed to use, so I used them both in this recipe (can't have too much of a good thing is a personal philosophy). I used kalamata olives and fresh oregano in place of the marjoram. Loved the addition of mint, which paired so well with the feta. I'll make this often.

Wonderful recipe! I omitted the marjoram, replaced the regular onion with green onion, and the stuffed green olives with Greek olives, chopped. It was super!

Some seriously scrumptious salad here. Didn't have any marjoram so I used a touch of tarragon instead. It was wonderful! Thanks.
