Enjoyed this very much. I had to omit the olives, as I forgot I didn't have any on hand. I also decided to make this into a regular combined salad instead of arranging on the plate as outlined in the recipe. :)

so easy and very tasty! I took it to a family bbq and nobody could believe I made it!

A very good salad! As an alternative you may use feta cheese instead of mozzarella and sliced onion instead of olives. This makes a great salad but we also used this on chicken sandwiches!
