Since first trying this, I have made it several times, and it is one of my boyfriend's favorite things to pack for lunch! I make it exactly as written, although I use the herb-and-garlic feta. Thanks for posting this keeper! Made for All New Zaar Tag Game.

    Oh Wow, this is so-o-o good! I used Kittencal's Greek salad dressing and didn't have any cucumbers, but had everything else. I am letting it meld in the refrigerator until lunch and then I will dig in, but tasted it right after mixing it together and it is very good. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

    Crabby I just love your recipes. I make this several times a year. I Originally gave you 4 stars but I discovered that the choice of dressing makes a big difference. Do not waist your time on Kraft.. it is too oily. Olimpia Dukacus is great, if you can't find it, look for a better priced vinigarette.

    This is a very good cold salad. The real secret I think is to make it a day ahead of time. It was really better the next day after the flavors had a chance to meld
