Notes
¹ If you prefer a different size tomato, adjust the amount you need based on how big your tomatoes are. If you use cherry or grape tomatoes, you'll need more (about 3 cups sliced in half). If you use larger tomatoes (like beefsteaks), you'll need fewer tomatoes.
² When you're making this salad for guests, leave the feta in block form for a more impressive look (and to showcase just how much feta you're using). Don't have anyone to impress? Feel free to crumble the feta or break it into smaller blocks if you prefer.
