Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: Keep the dressing separate, but you can make this up to 1 day ahead of time. I would also advise keeping the feta cheese separate until ready to serve. Don’t season it either until ready to serve.
- How To Store: If you can keep the seasoning and vinaigrette separate and cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use pitted olives to make it easier to consume.
- It is more classic to use a block of feta cheese rather than crumbles.
- Any tomato will work for this recipe.
