I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add some grilled shrimp or chicken to make it a more substantial meal.

This salad was delicious! I used a mix of cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes, and I added some crumbled feta cheese on top. It was the perfect side dish for our grilled chicken.
