For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and Greek feta cheese. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or cherry tomatoes. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If making ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy. Consider adding a sprinkle of dried oregano for an authentic Greek flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten the flavors further.
