I have a salad almost every day, and especially like ones with color and variety. This salad is quick to throw together. The dressing is on the 'sharp' side, but is perfect when tossed with the salad ingredients. Double or triple the recipe to feed a crowd. Created for RSC #10.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/8 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Salad

1 seedless cucumber, quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 medium green pepper, chopped (capsicum)
10-15 cherry tomatoes, halved
10-15 kalamata olives, pitted and halved
10-15 radishes, halved
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup feta, crumbled (or more)

Directions

1
Put the dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender and whiz until combined.

Both the salad and dressing for this were very good. I just didn't like them together. I prefer mediterranean salads with vinigrette. The dressing tasted similar to honey mustard dressing. In the dressing I used Enova oil and brown sugar Splenda and blended it in a 2 cup pyrex with my immersion blender. I loved the mix of veggies for the salad they were pretty, crisp and flavorful. I used whole grape tomatoes. Good luck in the contest!

I just loved the dressing!I didn`t find it sharp at all. The feta may have calmed it! Just the right amount of tang. My radishes were very bitter so I removed them. Didn`t want them to ruin the salad. I did serve over romaine lettuce. Excellent!

I enjoyed this salad! I left out the radishes. I loved the ingredients and halved the recipe and dressing. Thanks!

I really liked the salad part of this recipe, but I do think the dressing needs to be worked on. I love having a lemony taste to my salads so more lemon juice would have been appreciated. I do like the fact that it is really easy to make, though.
