Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS:

If you do not have any crumbled feta cheese on hand, goat cheese or fried haloumi would be delicious substitutes.
I love adding fresh mint to this salad, but if you're not a fan, feel free to swap it out for another herb like fresh basil or cilantro/coriander.
This salad can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for later. I find that the flavors develop even more after a few hours in the fridge, so if you have the time, I recommend making it ahead of time, just save ading the dressing until you are ready to serve.
