Chef's Tips
For a more substantial salad, add grilled chicken or chickpeas.
If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make a quick balsamic reduction by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it thickens.
Other types of berries, such as blueberries or raspberries, can be substituted for the strawberries.
Add toasted nuts (like almonds or pine nuts) for extra crunch.
For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese and use a vegan feta alternative.
