Reviews
What a great summer salad/side-dish. My original plan was to serve this as a side, but I ended up topping it with Greek-marinated grilled chicken. What a delicious, satisfying light dinner! I made the homemade pita chips using whole wheat pita, and they were fabulous. My young kids ate them as well and loved them! Great recipe. Thanks, Ina!
My new go to salad!
I have made this dish multiple times over the years, it’s satisfying and delicious. Make it as a side dish in the heat of summer when the veggies are in season or as a light lunch
I love this! This salad gives you the perfect amount of food where you’re full but not over done. It’s perfect for summer!
excellent in every way! the flavors are amazing together!
This is one of the best dish I have ever had. It is absolutely amazing. The flavors marry well, and the dressing is delicious. Great recipe!
An absolutely amazing recipe. The flavors are so well balanced. It does take some time to do all of the chopping. But it is SO worth it (and can be very relaxing in the kitchen!) It is a go-to recipe; with my husband exclaiming he could truly eat this salad everyday! Cannot say enough good things about this recipe. Thanks Ina!
Absolutely fantastic recipe! It is always such a hit!
Made for Christmas and it was delicious and I really liked having something on the healthy side at the table still munching on it days after.
