My husband LOVED this salad! We omitted the feta and olives since we're not fans. I enjoyed the multiple textures contained in the salad, and would make it again. However, I would tweak it to increase the dill flavor and add more peas, I like them. This was a beautiful salad, a great one to bring to a potluck.
