Instructions

Notes
- If you can't find cubed feta that's packed in oil and herbs, any feta will work fine. Also, don't worry about it being exactly 3.5 ounces... that was the size package mine happened to come in.
- This salad is very flexible... add more or less of any ingredient depending on your preferences and what's in your fridge.
- Serves 2-4 depending on what else it's served with.
