4. Combine Salad and Dressing:
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Add Cheese (Optional):
If using, crumble your choice of feta or goat cheese over the salad for an extra layer of flavor.
6. Chill and Serve:
Let the salad sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. This step also helps soften the vegetables slightly, making them even more palatable.
