Great salad. I didn't have any parsley, but I did have mint. Other than that I followed exactly. Delicious and protein rich. Thank you!

This is a very fresh tasting salad and leaves you feeling as if you did something very good for yourself. Would be excellent with some toasted pita bread and a small scoop of labneh. Great way to end the new year and start the new. <br/><br/>I added all the suggestions listed previously, along with some red onion, extra green onions, and some orange bell pepper. I dressed it simply with lemon juice, olive oil, pressed garlic, salt and pepper.

Fantastic recipe. I increased the feta because I love it so much. This gets even better after one or two days in the fridge. I've had it for lunch and as a side to a couple meals now. Definitely include the mint. It adds a lot to this salad.
