What I did differently:
-Recipe calls for 1 whole english cucumber, I used half
-Recipe calls for Kalamata olives, I skipped those.
-Recipe calls for 1/2 cup of feta cheese, I didnt have enough so I subbed Parmesan … It was delicious as well!
-Recipes calls for fresh basil, I didnt have that so I added 1 tsp of dried basil
-I also added a little extra sugar
