Can I make the feta dressing ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add it to the salad just before serving to keep vegetables crisp.
What can I substitute for Kalamata olives?
Use green Castelvetrano olives for a milder flavor, or omit them entirely if you prefer. Oil-cured black olives also work well.
Is this salad vegetarian?
Yes. All ingredients are plant-based or dairy, making it naturally vegetarian.
How do I keep the salad from getting soggy?
Store dressing separately and dress the salad immediately before serving. If prepping ahead, keep tomatoes and cucumbers in separate containers until assembly.
Can I scale this recipe up for a crowd?
Yes. Double or triple all ingredients proportionally. The dressing ratio remains consistent: adjust feta and dill to match your vegetable quantity.
