What a great way to eat! Fantastic flavors in this winner of a salad. Though I substituted some ingredients due to the availability situation in my pantry, it was still a success. Instead of white wine vinegar - used red wine vinegar, instead of red onions - used Vidalia, instead of grape tomatoes - used red stem cluster tomatoes, and didn't use parsley because I didn't have any. Served it over a bed of arugula. Just an all-around tasty, tasty! Thank you Sharon123!!!

What a great summer recipe this turned out to be. Fresh cukes from the garden, tomatoes and onion. I used feta crumbles instead of cubes as this is what I always have on hand. The dressing is the perfect marinade to bring all these lovelies together. MMMMmmmmm. Wonderful!!!

This was made using fresh garden tomatoes and a sweet onion. The dressing is very light and refreshing. I will make this often when tomatoes are in season.

This is a lovely refreshing salad, I had a few items to use up after Christmas and this fit the bill. I didnt have grape tomatoes but a few low acid ones instead and it worked fine, I also added some finely diced telegraph cucumber. Great flavours.

First, this made a TON of salad! I made it for a family picnic, so that was exactly what I was looking for. I made the recipe as directed, and we loved it. It was tasty and highlighted the fresh herbs and, of course, the star of the show, the tomatoes! I'll definitely be making this again, and soon, to use some of my surplus tomatoes, though in smaller quantities - tomatoes don't keep well once they're cut! Thank you.
