I needed to add a baked sweet potato to add more carbs to this, but the salad turned out yummy.
0 HelpfulCheated a bit to use up other things I had - made wraps with veggie burger patties and hummus. Was tasty!
0 HelpfulA little too much lemon. I grated cucumber then soaked up liquid with paper towel so it wouldn't water down the sauce. I wish I had made hummus on the side so it was more of a complete meal.
0 HelpfulI am a distracted idiot and forgot to use the red onion and feta. Buy everything else I did "by the book" and it was delicious! Next time I'll try to use ALL the ingredients. :-)
