Mediteranian salad

This refreshing salad goes well with my mujadara recipe. Its even nice on its own with some chicken. or grilled tuna.
Most ingredients are quite easy to find hopefully, if you can't get any black olives just leave it out. I skipped the feta cheese but you can use some if you have any.

Yield: 4 as a side and 2 as a meal
