Notes

  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Keep dressing separate if storing ahead to avoid sogginess.
  • For a vegan version, omit feta and add nuts, seeds, or tofu.
  • Add cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
  • For spice, add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños.
