Notes
This salad is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese or halloumi. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
