I doubled the amount of dressing and increased the honey based upon what other reviewers stated, but still found the salad to be very strong, harsh and somewhat bitter tasting. It was not well liked by the 8 adults who politely tried to eat it. Not even a polite comment was made. I will not make it again.

I took this to a dinner party where pasta was served. Perfect with pasta! I increased the honey a bit as other reviewers had suggested. Everyone wanted the recipe.

A simple, refreshing summer salad. I used olives that had been marinated in chills for a little kick. Love the idea someone mentioned about a blended cucumber! I will try that next time.
