All (Zoe in particular) - Here is the salad I made for our last book club - for Olive's Ocean. The recipe website says, "An easy salad to serve with grilled chicken or steak for supper or on a bed of greens for a satisfying lunch. Substitute white beans or chickpeas for the black-eyed peas if you prefer."
I skipped beans altogether because I didn't have anything I thought would go well. And I use a lot more feta than the recipe calls for - enough to coat it until it achieves the desired look of deliciousness.
Cheers,
