Notes
- Cube or crumble the feta cheese based on your texture preference; more feta will increase saltiness.
- Serve the salad immediately or within two days refrigerated in an airtight container to prevent sogginess.
- For variation, add vegetables such as avocado or red onion to enhance flavor complexity.
