Cucumbers: The contemporary, crisp CRUNCH of sliced cucumbers are integral to the Mediterranean flavors of this salad. Any number of cucumber will work, simply ensure you slice them into half moons.
Feta crumbles: The salty, crumbly goodness of feta can also be essential to the flavour of this salad. You should use cotija or crumbled goat cheese if that’s all have available.
Kalamata olives: I’m on crew olives! I do know not everyone seems to be, so be at liberty to skip these if olives aren’t your jam. It’s possible you’ll want a pinch or two of salt in case you don’t use olives since they add such nice salty taste to the salad.
