Great, fresh tasting salad! I used all parsley since I didn't have any cilantro on hand. The salty, creamy feta, sweet tomatoes and cucumbers were wonderful together.....along with all the other ingredients. Served it with quiche and it was a hit. Definitely a keeper!
This is better than the Greek salad in my favorite Greek restaurant. It is wonderful and the Greek black olives are perfect with it. It is a whole meal for me.
Good! I used basil instead of cilantro (my cilantro hadn't come up yet in our garden!). Also added some grilled salmon to make it a meal! Added some red onion & carrots to it as well.
I added salmon I had in the refrigerator as a leftover to this as well as the tomatoes, feta cheese, fresh parsley with the Light Green Goddess Salad Dressing. I didn't have cucumber or Greek olives but the next time I'll make sure I have those also. We enjoyed the salad as a main dish.
