- 1 tsp lemon juice

- Add the lemon juice and olive oil.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Toss until everything is mixed through.
- Spoon into a bowl and serve.

- Toss gently after the feta goes in so it stays in small pieces.
- The lemon and olive oil are enough to coat the bowl without a heavier dressing.
