Notes

Kosher Salt: All of my recipes are tested with Morton kosher salt unless noted otherwise. It is the best salt for everyday cooking because of its size and flavor. If using table salt, the amount should be reduced. I highly recommend picking up some kosher next time you are at the store!
Feta Cheese: A block of feta in brine is creamier and more flavorful than pre-crumbled. Cut into smaller pieces for the best texture.
Let It Chill: A short rest in the fridge allows the dressing to soak into the veggies and feta for even better flavor.
Use a Block of Feta: It holds its shape better and has a creamier texture than pre-crumbled.
Add Dressing Just Before Serving: If making ahead for a party, store the dressing separately and toss just before serving to keep everything crisp.
Don’t Overmix: Be gentle when tossing to avoid breaking up the feta or smashing the tomatoes.
