Yummy salad! We loved the addition of the sour gerkins. Based on the previous review, I cut down the oil to 2 tablespoons, which was plenty for us and upped the vinegar by a tablespoon. Yum! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

This was a fantastic salad that is simple to make but packs a lot of flavour. I did have to make some modifications. I used white onions instead of spring onions and just made sure they were chopped very fine. I also only used 3 tablespoons of olive oil and three tablespoons of white wine vinegar because it tasted awesome! I also cut out the salt and just used pepper. Thanks for posting a recipe that I will definitely use again, especially with warmer weather coming up! Made for PAC Spring 2008.
