  I've made this a few times now on a Sunday to accompany a roast chicken. I used shallots instead of red onion and slightly less lemon as when I did the recipe with 2 lemons it was very tart. Overall a fab recipe and I will continue making it.

  This recipe was lovely but I agree with EPR above - two lemons was too much. I'd suggest using one lemon for the marinade then serving the salad with a little lemon slice so each diner could choose to make their salad more zingy. I also gave the option for the meat eaters among us to add some gently fried chorizo and a bit of crumbled feta to the dish. Twas nom.

  Forgot the star ratings. Took away two for the misguided lemon overdose :)

  Lovely salad but I echo what others said about the lemon.

  Really nice salad. Be sensible with the amount of lemon you want to eat and then you'll enjoy it!

  I used one lemon after reading the comments and thought it was delicious. Really simple too.
