Recipe Notes
I mentioned that personalizing your salad makes it even better to enjoy. You can personalize your salad with seasonings, a great dressing such as a vinegarette, and a bit of cheese such as feta on top.
I also mentioned that you can make your Shepherd’s Salad stand out even more.
Adding some fruit will not only add a new element of taste, but the fruit will also add a bit of color, texture, and nutrition. Easy fruits to add to this salad include raisins or dried cranberries .originally posted:
