My husband and I enjoyed this salad. I didn't know whether to give it 4 or 5 stars, because I felt it was a little too vinegary, but he thought it was perfect. I figured it was just a taste prefernce, so I gave it 5! Maybe next time I will put less vinegar. Shhh, don't tell!

This was "the best!" I used Bobtail's Sweet Hot Mustard Dressing (similar but with mustard and honey) but added a touch of oregano. The olives and feta go great with the dressing. I just used raw red peppers for convenience. This has a great "deli" flavor. Thanks ngibsonn for posting. Roxygirl

This was very good. It was a little too "tangy" for my taste. Next time I might reduce the amount of vinegar and or the feta cheese just a tad. It is very eye appealing, with the red peppers, green broccoli, white feta, and black olives. Thanks for posting!

I was half way through eating this before I remembered to put the feta on it. Liked it both ways, maybe even a little better without it. Nuked the broccoli for 1 !/2 min and rinsed in cold water. Used green olives, but will use black next time. Refreshing.
