Recipe Notes

Omit ham to make this salad vegetarian.Replace feta with cashew cheese to make this recipe Vegan.
You can ordinary olive oil instead of my herb infused oil.
If you are using feta under season the dressing as feta has a lot of salt of its own.
The dressing should ideally be drizzled just before serving the salad as the lettuce usually wilts because of the added moisture.
