Here's my little girl's favorite salad. She devours it just about as fast as I can make it. I suggest preparing it ahead of time so the flavors can get to know each other. —Stacey Feather, Jay, Oklahoma

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less balsamic vinegar. Other than that, it was a good salad. The beans were cooked well, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors are so well balanced, and the beans are cooked perfectly. I especially liked the addition of the balsamic vinegar, which gave it a nice tang. I would definitely recommend this

I made this salad for my family, and they all loved it. I especially liked the addition of the feta cheese, which added a nice salty flavor. I will definitely be making this salad again.
