Preparation

Step 1

Put salad ingredients in a large bowl and chill. Mix all dressing ingredients in food processor or a whisk until emulsified. Toss dressing with salad. Allow to marinate in the fridge for one hour before serving.

Topping:
Crumble about 1/4 cup feta cheese over top before serving.

Variations: Try using sesame oil and rice vinegar instead of the olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a nice Asian flair.
