For best results, use high-quality feta cheese, preferably one packed in brine. Finely chopping the vegetables ensures a better texture and allows the flavors to blend more harmoniously. Adjust the amount of red wine vinegar to your taste. You may prefer a slightly more acidic dressing. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, tomatoes, or olives, to customize the dish. This salad is even better after it has had a chance to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, allowing the flavors to develop.
