With pasta added, this gives a nice twist to the typical Greek salad. Be sure to use good-quality feta cheese, as it really makes a difference in flavor and creaminess.

This salad is not worth the effort. There are much better salads out there.

I was disappointed with this salad. The vegetables were not crisp and the dressing was bland.

This salad was just okay. I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled vegetables. I also added some grilled chicken and it was a delicious and healthy meal.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought dressing and it turned out great.

This was a refreshing and flavorful salad. The vegetables were crisp and the dressing was light and tangy. I would definitely make this again.

This salad is a delightful explosion of flavors and textures. I loved the combination of sweet and tangy dressing, the crunch of the vegetables, and the salty feta cheese. It's a perfect dish for a summer gathering or a light lunch.
