I enjoyed the fresh taste of this salad and the way that the feta and the mint worked together was particularly nice. I used reduced fat feta but otherwise stuck to the recipe. I had some straight away for lunch and then put the rest in the fridge and it tasted even better after chilling for a bit. Made for Aus/NZ swap.

Yummo!! Were heading towards the end of winter here is Australia and I was sooo craving a nice summery feeling dish. This hit the spot nicely! The only changes I made was to use blanced green beans in place of the green peppers as I din't have any on hand and I added freshly ground pepper. I found after the salad had been refrigerated for a short time the flavours melded together better also.

I have loved to cook since I was a child. Several years ago I was diagnosed as gluten-intolerant, and I have been having a great time learning about gluten-free substitutions.
