Notes
- Use both cubed and crumbled feta to get varied texture and flavor throughout the salad.
- Kalamata olives provide a characteristic salty, meaty bite and are preferred for an authentic taste.
- Choose cocktail tomatoes for their intense flavor to enhance the salad's freshness.
- If needed, adjust seasoning by adding feta brine to the dressing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days; flavors develop further with time.
