Wow, what a terrific recipe Nan. I love feta and it is amazing prepared this way. It brings the salt out even more but in a good way. The dressing is light and refreshing and works well with all the ingredients in the salad. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again and again. Kudos on making it into my favorites cookbook for 2016. Made as written for CQ3 - Greece.
