I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It worked out great! The salad was still very flavorful.

This salad is a great way to sneak some healthy greens into your diet. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the balela adds a nice crunch.

I've made this salad with both grilled and roasted chicken. Both versions are delicious, but I prefer the roasted chicken. It has a more intense flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. It's also a great option for a vegan or vegetarian main course.

This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped avocado or crumbled bacon.

I'm not a huge fan of salads, but this one is an exception. The combination of flavors and textures is just perfect. I especially love the crunchy walnuts and the creamy feta cheese.
