    (1/3) cup kalamata olives, pitted & minced finely (about 20)
    (1/2) cup cubed feta cheese

    Excellent meal! My husband was tired of chicken :) We did include the red onion, and added Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning. Wonderful flavors and crunch. Great meal for hot weather. - 7/17/16
