This salad is super tasty! Came across a different recipe that called for mint and jalapeno pepper and didn't have any and for this recipe the mint was optional so I decided to make this one instead. Changed tomatoes to grape tomatoes and red onion to regular sweet onion because I didn't have any of those. Turned out great even with the minor changes. Def will make it again. Thanks for sharing!

A new family staple. I prepare from dry beans using a little vegetable bouillon for their cooking. Fresh mint definitely adds to the flavor. As is the recipe is a solid four stars; adding feta at serving time makes it five. Read More
