I used a feta made from goat and sheep’s milk, but you possibly too can use immediately up goat cheese or cow’s milk feta.
Need to make this dairy-free? I gotcha! Skip the cheese, sub your favourite dairy-free dressing (this fruity blueberry balsamic is amazing!) and deal with your self with some tasty candied walnuts in region of the cheese.
No blueberries? Try strawberries, raspberries, and even chopped apple as a fruity sub.
I adore sunflowers on this salad, but pepitas could be huge too!
