Note

For best flavor, use high-quality feta cheese and ripe, in-season tomatoes.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to prevent wilting.

You can substitute romaine lettuce with mixed greens or spinach for a different texture.

Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice for authentic Greek flavor.
