  1. When I go out to eat and greek salad is on the menu, it is inevitably what I will order. Also my preference is for rice rather than potatoes or pasta ...but...i was unprepared for just how well they worked in combination. Totally brilliant to combine what is in essence a side dish with a staple like rice, thus elevating it to the status of a main course. In modest amounts still a side dish, or a more generous portion a wonderfully tasty main one. Other touches like the two types of olives and combining yogurt and salad dressing also made nice taste variations. Quick to make and a colourful presentation coupled with a fresh exciting taste...definitely a winner. Thank you Diana. (prepared for the “COOKOUT” Cookathon July 1st – July 4th, 2002)
     
  2. I liked this, my boyfriend did not. I think the look of it turned him off a bit. To me, it looks a bit like a jello fruit salad, which isn't at all what it tastes like.
     
  3. I love rice and loved this ricepe.Cut the recipe in half and left out the yoghurt!!Thanks will make again!!
     
  4. I loved this recipe! The Boy loved it too. It was so fresh and healthy and delicious. I followed Derf's advice and swapped the quantities of mayo and yogurt: 1/2 cup yogurt and 2 teaspoons mayo. I also used risotto instead of rice because I prefer the texture, but I'm sure it's good with rice too. Another idea would be israeli couscous. Thanks a lot, this is a keeper.
     
  5. This was a nice change for a Greek salad, we loved it. Lots of flavour.I just made enough for the two of us using up some left over brown rice. I used red pepper, was out of green and light feta cheese. I kinda reversed the dressing; used 100g of yogurt and just 1 tablespoon of no fat mayo, turned out great. I will be making it again, thanks for posting.

  1. This was excellent! I used Recipe #222271 to cook the rice. Used red pepper instead of green (personal preference) and kalamata olives. Skipped the yogurt as I didn't have any but it didn't seem to be missing anything without it. Oh, I also used mayo for the salad dressing. Thanks so much for the recipe!
