Green salad with walnut crumble and feta - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute any of the nuts in the walnut crumble?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other nuts like pecans, almonds, or even sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. Just ensure the total quantity remains roughly the same for a similar texture.

I don't have tahini. What can I use in its place?

If you don't have tahini, you can try using a similar amount of Greek yogurt or a tablespoon of almond butter for a creamy texture and nutty flavor. The taste will be slightly different, but still delicious!

How long will the dressing last, and how should I store it?

The dressing is best used fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The oil may solidify, so bring it to room temperature and whisk well before using.

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

For the best results, it's recommended to prepare the components separately and assemble the salad just before serving. This prevents the lettuce from getting soggy. The walnut crumble and dressing can be made ahead of time.

Is this salad vegetarian-friendly?

Yes, this salad is vegetarian! To make it vegan, simply omit the feta cheese or substitute it with a plant-based feta alternative.

I'm not a fan of feta cheese. What else can I use?

If you don't like feta, goat cheese, grilled halloumi, or even avocado slices would be delicious substitutes, adding a similar creamy or salty element to the salad.

How do I adjust the recipe for a larger group?

Simply increase the quantities of all ingredients proportionally to the number of servings you need. It's always a good idea to make a little extra dressing in case people want more!

Can I add protein to make this a complete meal?

Definitely! Grilled chicken, fish, chickpeas, or lentils would make a great addition, transforming this salad into a more substantial and satisfying meal.
