This high protein, fresh tasting, vegetarian salad is very quick and easy to prepare. In fact it can be made in just 15 minutes from start to finish, and can be kept for a few days in the refrigerator, getting more flavorful as it marinates longer. Using fresh herbs and a small amount extra virgin olive oil makes this a healthier salad than many of those with high fat dressings without losing flavor.

I liked this recipe and thought it was fresh tasting and healthy. I didn't feel the celery worked, however. For crunch, I'd use cucumbers next time.

Extrememly fresh-tasty and healthy! The fresh mint really brings the flavor alive. I used only about 1 tbsp of olive oil. I served this over a mix of romaie and bibb lettuces. What a perfect quick and filling lunch. Thanx!

I have made this salad several times since finding it on the World's Healthiest Food website. The first time I made it, I didn't have time to play around to figure out how much extra virgin olive oil to use, so I just made a citronette (3 tbsp. lemon juice, 4.5 tbsp. evoo, 1/2 tsp. dijon mustard, pinch of salt and pinch of cayenne pepper). It worked so well, I've continued to use it. The feta cheese is a must.
