Notes
- Opt for a Creamy Block of Feta Cheese: It's best to use a block of creamy feta cheese in brine, then crumble it on top of the salad and give it a quick toss just before serving. A whole block of cheese tends to be creamier and richer in flavor.
- Gently Toss to Preserve Feta Texture: Be careful not to overmix the salad with the feta to prevent it from breaking up too much while tossing.
- Use Ladolemono for a Quick Dressing: This salad dressing is extremely simple and quite similar to Ladolemono (Greek Lemon Olive Oil Sauce). If you happen to have some of the latter stored in your fridge, you can drizzle it over your finely chopped veggies.
- Ensure Lettuce is Completely Dry: Please make sure your lettuce is completely dry. If it's damp, the dressing won't adhere properly to the leaves.
- Enhance the Crunch: Thinly slice the lettuce to ensure it stays crunchy and crisp, and for even distribution of the dressing.
