Delicious! I was a little timid of the dressing from the review prior. I tasted it and didn't like the dressing on its own, but took a leap of faith and poured it on. It marries all the ingredients together. Give it a try. Read More

We weren't fans of the dressing (we think it was the mustard) on this salad so I'm glad that I served the dressing as a side at the table instead of dressing the salad. When each of us took seconds we all preferred just a drizzle of olive oil over the salad. But it was a great way to get a different kind of salad onto the table and we loved the tomato cucumber feta and basil combination! This was healthier and less fussy than serving a more traditional caprese. Read More
