Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe inspired by The Mixx in Kansas City.
Make it vegan:
Skip the feta. You might like to make up for it by adding more olives.
To make this salad a full meal:
I think you could mix a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas into the tomato salad. And/or serve the salads on a layer of cooked quinoa, which I can confirm is tasty. I’d cook up about 1 cup of dried quinoa.
