Questions About Recipes

→ Can I make this salad ahead of time?

It's best to prepare the salad just before serving to keep the greens crisp. However, you can prepare the vinaigrette a day in advance.

→ What can I substitute for feta cheese?

You can use goat cheese or a dairy-free alternative if you're looking for a different flavor or a dairy-free option.
