Helpful Tips

Make your own fresh pesto using this recipe or you can use store bought. When making fresh pesto look for bright green leaves that are free from spots or wilting.
The saltiness of the feta cheese enhances the flavor of the salad. Crumble it or leave it in larger chunks. To change it up you could replace it with squares of cheddar, cotija, or goat cheese.
Serve this salad chilled or room temperature. It’s best to let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
