Tips for the Feta salad recipe

• We like shallot for its mildness, sweetness, and nice crunch. If you like bolder flavor, use thinly sliced red onions that you’ve soaked in cold water instead.
• Add more veggies and croutons to make your chopped salad more substantial.
• Romaine lettuce starts to wilt pretty fast after it’s dressed, so we like to serve this salad immediately or keep the dressing on the side until the very last minute.

What to serve with Feta chopped salad

There are many ways to serve your feta salad. Enjoy it on its own with a slice of garlic bread, pair it with a pasta dish or a home-baked pizza, or top it with your favorite protein to make it more substantial: grilled chicken, roasted salmon, steak strips, etc.
