What a refreshing and tasty salad. I couldn't find anthotyro cheese at my local market, so I garnished our servings with low-fat cottage cheese. And I thought it was a great topping for such a light dinner salad. Yum Yum Yum. I'll keep looking for the anthotyro cheese though, because I'd like to try it with that type of cheese the next time I serve this salad.
