Note

For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a vegan feta alternative.

If the red onion flavor is too strong, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad, then drain well.

This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of dried oregano for extra Mediterranean flavor.
