     I liked this a lot!! I used grape tomatoes instead of big ones, olive oil & balsamic instead of Italian dressing. Next time I will use the feta too! Thanks for sharing! - 2/16/11

     Very good... I didn't add the black olives or the salad dressing... instead, I added lemon juice, cilantro and coriander - 12/9/10
