Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

For such a straightforward recipe, opt for high-quality ingredients like vine-ripened or heirloom tomatoes, top-notch olives, and fruity olive oil.
Traditionally, this salad features large slabs of feta cheese rather than crumbles to avoid a milky appearance. You can also try using goat or cow’s milk feta.
Accompany the salad with wedges of pita bread to absorb the delicious juices at the bottom.
