- This salad tastes best when it’s been refrigerated for a few hours and up to 6-8 hours. The feta will break down and crumble a bit as it’s mixed into the salad so I prefer to gently fold it in just before serving so it maintains the cube shape. If you don’t mind slightly crumbled feta you can just toss it right in with the rest of the salad right away.
- Use fresh ingredients! Because the ingredient list is so short, using fresh ingredients is going to go a long way in making a delicious salad. Farmer’s market cucumbers and tomatoes are always going to taste better than those from the grocery store because they were most likely picked within the last day or so and brought directly from the farm!
