This is so good! I'm used to a salad similar to this, but with bacon instead of feta. I LOVE the feta! I wouldn't recommend using less feta, it really adds to the flavor and it's not overpowering at all. I used low fat yogurt and mayo and 3 TBS sugar. This makes a lot too, so if you're not feeding a crowd you should probably cut it in half. Thanks Kittencal!
