Tips and Tricks

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like lettuce, bell peppers, or grape tomatoes.
  • Customize the dressing by using apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice for a different acidity profile, or by adding additional herbs like thyme or parsley to enhance the flavor.
  • The salad calls for feta cheese which adds a salty creaminess. For best results, crumble the feta yourself rather than using pre-crumbled cheese, as fresh feta is softer and more flavorful.
