This salad is delightful. It makes a perfect light supper served atop fresh greens. I was out of fresh oregano and had to use dried (which I re-hydrated in the olive oil while preparing the rest of the salad), otherwise followed to a "T". The fresh mint really made this salad in my opinion. I'm sure it would have been even better with fresh oregano as well. I will make this salad often this summer as I usually have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks for posting Engrossed.

Super springtime salad! Very filling served over a bed of lettuce - the three of us each had a huge plateful for dinner tonight. I was hoping for leftovers.... I guess I'll have to make it again! I loved the lemony dressing with the mint on this (plus I'm always looking for excuses to buy mint, so I can make mojito's with the leftovers!). I used 8 ounces of chicken, 1 each of the peppers & cucumber. Perfect. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders game.

Finally a chicken salad that isn't heavy and full of stuff i don't like. (well i dont like veggies but ... :) ) This makes the veggies yummy, thechicken terrific and the feta/mint combo make me think im on the shores of the aegean. I used orange bells, but thought about tomatoes and am glad i decided against it..the crunch and flavors don't need tomatoes with it
