Notes

This salad is best fresh, but leftovers will keep in the fridge for 1–2 days. Store in an airtight container. The feta may soften slightly, and the vegetables will release some liquid over time, but it still tastes great - the added benefit of storing a Greek salad is that there’s no soggy lettuce to contend with.
