Great salad. i use a premade champagne dressing and it is yummy!

I have made this salad a few times now and it is one of my favorite recipes I have found on this site. I like to crumble the feta by hand rather than having blocks of it, but I'm sure it works well both ways. I also add a little extra vinegar to really bring out the acid of the dish. Incredible!

Very much enjoyed the salad. This will be even better in the summer with homegrown tomatoes and herbs. Thanks for sharing.

Great salad - the combination of flavors worked very well together. The only change I made was to also add some diced ham.
