# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crunch against the creamy feta hits every texture craving in one bite
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but feels fancy enough for guests
02 -
  • Dress the salad right before serving or the lettuce will start to soften and lose its satisfying crunch
  • Cold ingredients make this sing so let the bowl chill in the fridge for ten minutes if you have time
03 -
  • Use a vegetable peeler on the cucumber for ribbons instead of slices if you want it to feel fancier
  • Let the dressed salad sit for two minutes before serving so the flavors can settle
