Tried this recipe last night, and it was very enjoyable. I was a bit skeptical when making the dressing on how good it was going to be since it was only lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. My first bite was I was not impressed, but it took me a moment to appreciate the light citrus flavors blending in with the feta cheese and the hints a garlic. I will make this again however, I will tweak it bit and add some black pepper or crushed red pepper for some flavors.
