The salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. Note that the vegetables may release water over time.

What's the best way to serve this Greek salad for a party?

For parties, consider serving the salad in a large bowl and letting guests help themselves, or plate individual servings topped with extra cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

You can chop the vegetables ahead of time, but it's best to mix in the dressing and cheese just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.

Is this recipe vegetarian-friendly?
