Tips:

Use high-quality olive oil made from real Greek olives for the best flavor. Extra virgin oil is best due to its purity.
If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese made from sheep's milk is the most authentic, but you can also use feta made from cow's milk.
Add some chopped walnuts or almonds to the salad for some extra crunch and flavor.
Serve this dressing immediately or store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
