I ate recently at a mediterranean restautant and tried a similar salad. I loved it so much that when I saw your recipe, I had to try it. I love this recipe so much. It's so simple yet so flavorful. I am a huge feta cheese fan too. I agree with you that a good olive oil is key in this recipe. Delish! 😊
