Tasty and easy, we ate this as both a side to veggie burgers and for lunches. It kept well for a few days in the fridge. Only changes I made was to reduce the fat- used fat free feta and no oil. We loved the fresh herbs and garlic- yumm. Would probably use a red/purple onion next time. Thanks for posting this recipe!
