What a lovely recipe. Quick and easy to make with excellent results. We loved it. All the flavors and textures blended beautifully together creating a special treat. I had feta on mine, (Greek - cow and sheep) the hubby did not, he doesn't know what he is missing. Which just means more for me... not complaining here... Thanks for sharing another winner Ellie. Made for What's on the Menu tag game.

A refreshing, natural, vibrant salad that not only is it pretty but delicious! Perfect for Spring/Summer entertaining and a great starter that will get the attention of your guests. We loved the flavors and I would highly recommend using imported feta, as it goes so well here. I found that a milder olive oil pares best as opposed to an extra virgin olive oil. Thank you, ellie, for sharing. Made it for Billboard Tag.
