This is a very good salad. I felt a little weird about eating the green beans raw but everything comes together very nice. Thanks!

Wonderful! I love trying new things and had never had hearts of palm 'til I tried this. The beans have a nice crunch that complements the soft hearts of palm. The dressing is fabulous! Thanks, Engrossed! This one's a keeper!

This was really good... I'm not much of a vinegar and oil dressing eater, but this was outstanding.... The garlic and oregano took the "oily" taste away and the lemon gave it a kick.... I had never tried hearts of palm before, but I liked them... My 7 and 4 yr. old children did too.... I love feta cheese and it was a great addition to an already wonderful salad... Prepared for "Review my Recipe".

I really liked this salad. A nice change of pace. I haven't had a balsamic/marinated salad in quite a while. This was my first time trying hearts of palm. I can't say they're my favorite, but they are ok. Kind of mushy, and I tried some directly from the can and they didn't seem to have much flavor. But with the dressing and the other textures from the crunchy beans and so on, altogether it went well and was enjoyable. I think it would have been easier to eat if the tomatoes had been halved. I was a bit anxious over whether I'd like eating raw green beans, but actually I enjoyed it a lot. I think I will try and find new salads to make with raw green beans. I did completely forget to add the feta cheese. Hubby and I were eating this and he said it kind of seemed like an antipasto type of salad, and I said I could see putting salami and cheese in it and eating it as a main course. Then later I realized I'd forgotten the feta. I had some of the leftovers today for lunch, and they were still very good. Thanks!
