    2. For the Vinaigrette: Place all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl except for the olive oil. Mix with a whisk to combine. Drizzle in the olive oil slowly, whisking constantly, to form an emulsified vinaigrette. Season to taste and set aside.
    3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the salad except for the feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
    4. Mix in the vinaigrette. When combined, add the cheese and toss gently.
