Tomato and Feta Salad

This recipe is something different from the regular plain salad, something a bit more fun. The best part about this dressing is that it’s easy to throw together the day of serving. Pro Tip –  a little pinch of sugar in the dressing helps to round out the flavor and make it EXTRA delicious. Highly recommend!
