This was made using garden fresh tomatoes and basil instead of parsley. Super fast and delicious.

Extremely fast and easy! I followed the recipe as follows but next time I won't be afraid to add spinach and/or exchange tuna for shrimp or even chicken - the tomato, feta, and parsley worked extremely well together and I think would taste great with a variety of meats.
