FAQ

  • Can I substitute any of the ingredients?

    Yes, you can substitute ingredients based on your preferences. For example, you can use a different type of cheese instead of feta, or add other vegetables like bell peppers or artichoke hearts.
  • How long can I store the salad?

    It's best to eat the salad immediately after dressing it. If you need to store it, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving. The undressed salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Can I add protein to this salad?

    Absolutely! Grilled chicken, chickpeas, or hard-boiled eggs would be great additions to increase the protein content of the salad.
