Thanks for the pic. Great visual of what this amazing salad looks like. Only thing I really do not care for the texture of Feta cheese....wonder if it would still be good with a sub? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the comments everyone. By the way Jo, you can put this mix inside a tortilla and make a wrap out out of it. So yummy!
