Tips from My Kitchen
- If you don’t like feta cheese, then you could substitute it with mozzarella or goat cheese. Any other crumbly cheese of choice.
- To make this vegan, then omit the cheese altogether.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and place them in the refrigerator. The fruit salad will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- You may sub the lime for lemons.
- Best to use fresh herbs. But if you don’t have any you may use dried.
