This is very good - an excellent summer meal. Fast, easy and fresh. A splash of white balsamic, a pinch of sugar and a pinch of red pepper flakes would take this over the top. I would also think that a healthy sprinkling of Parmesan would be wonderful. - 10 Aug 2012
I have been making this for years, using most of the ingredients for a Greek rustic salad [except cucumber], but chopped more finely. I like to sprinkle with some feta [or similar cheese] crumbled with a fork. - 20 Aug 2012
It was great, my daughter-in-law loved it, cooked it for my son too. I added black olives and served with garlic bread. - 28 Aug 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
