Garden salads get a bad rap for being boring and uninspired, but it doesn't have to be that way. A variety of crispy veggies, a simple, lemony pesto vinaigrette, herbs, and tangy feta to round things out. Fresh and fab!

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Whisk together the EVOO, pepperoncini, pesto, garlic, salt, a few cracks of pepper, and the juice of the lemon until combined.
Add the cukes, toms, pepper, green & red onion, snap peas, and parsley, to a good sized mixing bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the veggies and toss until everything is nice and coated. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the flavours to come together.
Remove the salad from the fridge about 10 minutes prior to when you're serving. Toss the salad and transfer to a serving bowl. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed / desired. Garnish with as much crumbled feta as your heart desires, a good sprinkling of pepper flakes, and additional parsley. Serve and ENJOY!
I found this salad ate its best on day one. With that being said, it can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days. When serving, I'd suggest a good drizzle of EVOO and another squeeze of lemon to give it some life!
