I was looking for a healthy side dish for tacos, having grown tired and a bit tubby from the rice and beans routine. This salad is very refreshing and the dressing has a lovely balance of flavors. Thank you for posting. -
I made this to utlize some clementines on hand and loved it. I threw in a variety of spring lettuces and they only added to the pretty colors in this salad. Thank you for sharing the recipe! -
We especially enjoyed the combo of olive & orange in this salad, & the dressing was great, as well! Definitely a very easy-to-prepare recipe worth making again! Thanks for posting it! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag] -
Light, refreshing, flavorful, easy. Wow, who would have thought? I didn't want to do a regular Greek salad but did want to use up some black olives. The reviews were good and this was very minimal effort and a short list of ingredients. I LOVED it. I don't even care for cumin but somehow this just worked and I even added extra to the dressing. Highly recommend. Doesn't need anything extra, but I think you could if you wanted to. -
Loved all the flavors and so pretty too! I used baby romaine and it looked so cute. Herbs from the garden completed the dish. Thanks! Made for ZWT by a Herbacous Curvaceous Honey 2012.

Lovely salad, beautiful to look at and flavourful to eat. I wasn't sure that I liked the dressing when I tasted it before adding to the salad but something wonderful happens when it mixes with the other ingredients. I did switch up the cumin with chili powder due to family preference. I do think the cumin would be nice in this though. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for ZWT5 for Hell's Kitchen Angels.
