The salad was simple to make, but it lacked flavor balance. There were so many tart/tangy elements like the feta, lemon, garlic and tuna, but nothing sweet/savory to balance that out. It needs a bit of tweaking. The husband liked it, but then again, he enjoys tangy/tart foods more than I do. - 31 May 2013
I am so glad I happened upon this recipe as it's already become a mealtime favourite and it's so quick to prepare! This year I tossed my flowers in favour of herb in some planters this year, and am always on the lookout for new and different full-meal salad ideas, so this recipe was a perfect fit. However I do admit that reading the ingredients I was sort of thinking hmmmm...well I have to say the flavour particularly on account of the lemon and mint is simply outstanding! This recipe is quite flexible as well. Sometimes I substitute red onions and add a tbsp of balsamic vinegar to the dressing. Thank you very much for sharing this! - 19 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I loved this salad! I was looking for an alternative to a mayonnaise-based salad. This really hit the bill! I put it over spinach and it was a hit with the family! I used less than 1/4 cup olive oil for a little less fat, but didn't want to make any other changes. Thanks! - 20 Feb 2010 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
