Ingredient prep
You may prep ingredients ahead and store in the fridge:
- crumble feta cheese up to 1 week ahead; store in an air tight container in the fridge
- slice strawberries up to 24 hours ahead; make sure they are completely dry and store in an air tight container in the fridge
- slice red onion up to 4 days ahead; store in an air tight container in the fridge
- prepare the vinaigrette up to 2 weeks ahead; flavors dissipate while it sits so it’s best served within a few days of prepping. Store in the fridge.
