As an alterative, substitute Tahini Sauce for the Greek Salad Dressing.
Variations: Add drained rinsed chickpeas or chopped red or green bell pepper.
Protein adders: Consider topping with grilled chicken, pan seared chicken, baked salmon, seared salmon, sauteed shrimp, grilled shrimp kabobs, or baked tofu.
If you want to make this Mediterranean salad ahead, you can chop the vegetables in advance and make the dressing, storing both in separate containers. It’s best to chop the tomato as close to serving as possible. When serving, allow the dressing to come to room temperature, then assemble the salad.
For storing leftover salad, leftovers with dressing last for up to 1 day refrigerated (salads do become soggy over time).
