Notes

For this salad, I use greens I have on hand. For this day; I used a mix of baby spinach, red leaf, green leaf, endive and local wild greens - feel free to get creative!
What is a colanders worth of lettuce? Think a large strainer/ mixing bowls worth 
I rotate tomatoes for this salad. The tomato I like best is a large beefsteak tomato
Check to see if Virgin Cheese is stocked at a grocer near you. If not - they have a delivery service linked on their site. 
Crumble consistency for the Virgin Cheese: While prepping your salad, throw your feta in the freezer for a few minutes. This will make it easier to break apart crumble-like pieces. Don’t leave it in for too long- just enough for it to be a bit firm
For an even higher protein version of this salad, add soaked + cooked chickpeas!
