There are loads of ways you can get creative here… try adding a freshly sliced chilli at the end for an extra kick, or some lightly chopped walnuts for nuttiness and crunch, or why not swap the feta for halloumi, or add pumpkin and sunflower seeds in too? This is also a delicious salad bulked out with some nice salad leaves, you might just want to up the dressing.”
