Notes
- This salad is naturally gluten-free, as it primarily consists of fresh vegetables, feta cheese, and olives. The homemade dressing should also be gluten-free, though you may want to check the ingredients of the mustard to ensure no gluten-containing additives.
- To make this vegan friendly, simply omit the feta cheese and replace it with a plant-based alternative. A health food store should have vegan feta options. You can also use tofu or nut-based recipes to make it at home.
