Notes

While olive oil goes amazing in salads, there may be a few of you who might not like the bolder flavor of this oil so you can substitute it with either sunflower or safflower oil.
Crumbled feta cheese is amazing, but if you wish to substitute it with something else aim for a salty yet soft cheese such as ricotta, goat cheese or queso fresco. These types will blend very well with the rest of your ingredients.
If you can't find any red wine vinegar, you can easily substitute it with white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or even champagne vinegar. While balsamic vinegar is usually good for salads, it would be a bit too bold for this type of salad. Another great substitute if you wish to keep the vinegar out completely is squeezed lemon or lime juice.
