I cut the oil to 1/2 cup, which was plenty. Left out the olives, since my family hates them, and used fat free feta. Very good. Will make again, although all the chopping made it more time consuming than I thought it would be.

This was a delicious recipe! Great combination of flavors - I was tempted to leave out the olives but I'm glad I added them - the kalamata's added a delicious, subtle taste. To make it a little lighter, I replaced the oil and vinegar with a light Balsamic & Olive Oil Salad dressing and used whole wheat couscous. You can also used reduced fat feta to cut out some more fat. I also sauteed the chicken in the balsamic dressing to give it extra flavor.

way too much oil. had to skim half of it off the top before pouring dressing over salad.

This is an interesting, tasty recipe; I'm so glad I tried it! I made it last night because the ingredient mix was not a familiar taste combination to me. Also, I wanted to make enough to share with a neighbor who had been very helpful to me during some recent medical problems and now had some of her own. I made the recipe as written, though I used extra virgin olive oil (2/3rds cup), 1 1/2 Tbs regular balsamic vinegar, and added a bit more lime juice (didn't have lemon) after tasting. In my mind this is not a big change to the recipe. Used the fresh herbs, rather than dried, as listed. The dressing tasted a bit odd, but other reviewers said to try it. I cut up two boneless skinless chicken breasts into fairly small slivers rather than chunks, then pan fried a few minutes, added some water, covered, and cooked through. Drained the juice (saved for my cats) then refrigerated the chicken. Julienned English cucumber with a small V-Slicer Plus mandoline (available from BB&B), chopped the kalamatas, and chopped some oil-packed sundried tomatoes. Made 1 cup couscous in only 1 cup water with some butter and Herb-Ox dried chicken bouillon powder. Turned out fine. Mixed it all up and tasted. Needed some more salt and pepper. Then added about a cup of chopped oil-packed artichoke hearts and tasted again. Great! Served over chopped lettuce. My neighbor and her husband really enjoyed it, wanted the recipe for herself, and my husband wanted seconds.

I love this recipe. I've made it several times already. Great combination of flavours.

This was YUMMY! I also used balsamic vinegar and it worked fine. The rosemary is what really gives this salad the great flavor so don't skimp on that. Thanks for submitting!

Very delish!!!!!

Like another reviewer I used regular balsamic vinegar instead of the white and it was fantastic. I was surprised at how well all the flavors came together. I'll definitely be making it again.

This recipe was great everyone loved it! The only changes i made were that i used regular balsamic vinegar because i couldn't find the white and i left out the chicken and cucumbers and used green and black olives. It was great!

I knew that I would enjoy this recipe, but I was skeptical given the ingredients that my husband would. He was so surprised how all the strong flavours combined turned out to be so tastefully mild. He picked out the olives but we both thought this was excellent! We will definately put this on our party dish list.

Absolutely delicious alternative to a chicken/pasta dish!! The second time I made it I added chopped cashews to add another texture and it was even better. I would also use a little less vinegar next time. This is my new favorite.

Love it! I tried it once with black olives instead of kalamata olives and it was still good. But when I made it with kalamata olives it was even better. This is a delicious dish!

Great for a summer meal. Friends loved it and asked for the recipe. I would cut down on the vinegar next time though.
