Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare all the ingredients except the avocado and dressing. Store them separately and combine just before serving.
What can I use instead of feta cheese?
Try goat cheese, fresh mozzarella pearls, or simply leave the cheese out for a dairy-free version.
Is this salad spicy?
Not unless you add the chili flakes. You can adjust the heat to your preference or omit them altogether.
What pairs well with this salad?
It pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, fish tacos, barbecue dishes, or crusty bread for a light and satisfying meal.
