I've made this salad several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great make-ahead salad, too, so it's perfect for parties.

I made this salad for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the olives and feta cheese. They gave the salad a nice salty flavor.
