For the most vibrant flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using. Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. Some prefer a lighter coating, while others enjoy a more generous dressing. Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or Kalamata olives. For a vegetarian option, use a plant-based feta cheese alternative.
