4. Toss the Feta salad to combine before serving. Enjoy! ❤️
Tips for the Feta salad recipe
- We like shallot for its mildness, sweetness, and nice crunch. If you like bolder flavor, use thinly sliced red onions that you’ve soaked in cold water instead.
- Add more veggies and croutons to make your chopped salad more substantial.
- Romaine lettuce starts to wilt pretty fast after it’s dressed, so we like to serve this salad immediately or keep the dressing on the side until the very last minute.
