This salad can be served on its own or as a side dish with grilled meats or fish. It pairs nicely with crusty bread or can be enjoyed in a wrap. Garnish with extra herbs or sprinkle some more feta on top for a beautiful presentation. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best freshness within 1-2 days. Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
