- 1 tablespoon honey

Notes
- This salad can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to add the vinaigrette just before serving to keep the greens fresh.
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese and use a plant-based protein like roasted chickpeas or tofu.
- Feel free to swap in other seasonal fruits like strawberries or blackberries for variety.
