- For a vegan option, replace feta cheese with a plant-based alternative or omit it entirely.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the crispness of the radishes and herbs.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
