This main-dish salad works well with many variations - change the fresh herbs, beans, and cheese to use what you have on hand.

I loved this just right

I'm not one for thick, creamy dressings. That said, I found the very simple dressing on this salad to be a solid keeper. Exactly as it says: change the herbs, etc & it's outstanding. The 1st time I made it without the dill, onion, capers & cucumbers. I didn't have these on hand & we still loved it! 2nd time around, I included dill...& again, we loved it! Eventually I'll make it with all the suggested ingredients. 'Till then, I'm happy adjusting it to suit my needs. I adore the lightness of the dressing, with the fresh parsley. One note: I used Italian organic lemon juice: delightful!

The salad ingredients are fine. I found the dressing to be missing something....just not sure what! I will try again with some variations to the dressing.
