Can I make this salad ahead of time?
It's best to dress this salad just before serving to keep the vegetables crisp. You can chop the vegetables and prepare the dressing in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What kind of feta should I use?
Always choose a good quality Greek PDO feta cheese, preferably from sheep's or goat's milk. It will have a creamier texture and richer flavor than cow's milk feta.
Can I add other vegetables?
While this is a classic combination, feel free to add thinly sliced red onion or green bell pepper for extra crunch and flavor, if you like.
