Notes

Quantities adjusted: Some ingredient quantities have been slightly adjusted for a more balanced salad.
Substitutions: If you don't have kalamata olives, you can use another type of olive. If you prefer a different cheese, try crumbled goat cheese or queso fresco.
Make-ahead tip: You can prepare the dressing and chop most of the vegetables in advance, but wait to chop the lettuce until right before serving to keep it crisp.
