I really enjoyed this fresh tasting salad! It was quick and easy to prepare, which made it ideal for a work night or other times when you need just a very light meal. I can see why this is a hit at BBQs. The only change I made was to use all olive oil and I used kalamata olives instead of black olives, which I chopped instead of sliced for more even distribution. I agree with Brooke that the cherry tomatoes are a must. I would definitely make this salad again. I chilled for about an hour before I ate a little and ran out the door. I am excited to try the leftovers tomorrow after the flavors have melded even more. Thanks, Charmie! Made for ZWT6.
