"Really good, quick recipe! I didn't have onions in the house but substituted some chopped green onions and that worked well. Also, I used cherry tomatoes cut in half rather than a regular tomato. Last..." See morely, I squeezed lemon juice over the entire salad at the end rather than just place lemon slices on it. Amazing and I will make again. As a note, I loved the cider vinegar as an ingredient in this recipe!"

I found yellow onions too overpowering so the second time I used gree..." See moren onions. It had a much nicer flavor and added a nice bit of color. I also added diced red bell pepper and it was delicious!"

"I really liked this recipe, though I agree with some of the other reviews that the onion was a little overpowering, so next time I will use green onion instead. I also added celery, which was nice...." See more"
