Notes
- The resting time is optional. If you are short on time, you can serve it right away.
- To Make Ahead: You can make this salad a day in advance. If you do so, I recommend mixing the dressing, feta cheese, and the rest of the salad ingredients right before serving.
- To Store leftovers: If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge. They should still be good on the next day.
