Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The freshness of your vegetables (like ripe tomatoes and crunchy cucumbers) makes a difference in this salad. Also buy the best feta you can find, preferably a block of authentic Greek feta rather than pre-crumbled varieties.
• Make the Dressing from Scratch: While store-bought dressings can be convenient, nothing beats a quick homemade vinaigrette.
• Add the Feta Last: To avoid breaking up the feta, add it at the very end and slice it when serving.
• Customize Your Olives: Greek salads traditionally use Kalamata olives, but you can mix in green olives for a different taste. Just make sure to remove any pits.
• Consider a Protein Boost: If you want to turn this into a more filling meal, you can top the salad with grilled chicken, lamb, or even some chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
