Notes
Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best sweetness and bite.
If prepping in advance, wait to add feta and dressing until just before serving.
Add crushed red pepper flakes for a kick, or cooked orzo to make it a main dish.
For a dairy-free version, omit feta or use a plant-based alternative.
Keeps well for up to 5 days in the fridge, though tomatoes may soften slightly.
