A lovely, light, refreshing salad great on a hot summer night! Made as directed & everyone loved it. Very quick & simple to make. Made for ZWT9, Mike & the Appliance Killers. -
My ingredients were not the freshest and I can imagine this being even more stellar with fresh picked tomatoes and cukes from the garden. As it was, it was very easy to put together and made for a refreshing dinner salad. We let the salad sit as recommended and DH thought it benefitted from a little more oregano. Thanks! Made for ZWT 9. -
This is a really quick, light, and refreshing salad, using ingredients I usually have on hand. Great for summertime. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
I wish I could give a higher star rating for this fantastic salad! This is very easy to put together but the flavors sure make you think it was much harder. Served after being in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour with grilled chicken. Cant wait to make this again! Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest 2016 - Greece. -
Good stuff! We enjoyed the light, tangy flavor. Made for CQ2016 IHPi

A very refreshing salad! The quality of the salad depends on the quality of your vegetables. I would definitely let this salad sit at least 15-30 minutes to let the flavors marry before serving. You can substitute mint for the oregano and you have a Moroccan salad.
