I used all garden fresh or farmers market tomatoes, cukes, onion, and substituted 1/2 cup basil for the fresh parsley. I used a sharp, Greek Imported Olive Oil, which has a very distinctive flavor, and I don't think blends well with red wine vinegar. So, I used a good Balsamic Vinegar instead. This made about 2 quarts and when hubby and I finished supper, we had about a pint left over. So, with all my adjustments this is an excellent recipe to use as a springboard for incorporating your own tastes. Have made this twice, as of this posting, and have forgotten both times to add the feta cheese. Thanks "Poppy" for posting such a delicious recipe.

Not leaving any stars because I changed it up quite a bit, based on what I had available. I used organic apple cider instead of red wine. I used crumbled herbed goat cheese instead of feta. I left out the olives, put in a pinch of salt and some minced garlic with the oil and vinegar, sprinkled some Splenda over it and marinated it for an hour or two. This was absolutely delish! Thanks for posting and giving me a good guide to make such a wonderful salad.
