Chef's Tips

For the best flavor, use high-quality Spanish smoked paprika. If you prefer a heartier lunch, add a handful of baby arugula or baby spinach to the bowl just before serving.

Easy Substitutions

If sherry vinegar is unavailable, red wine vinegar serves as a suitable replacement. You can also swap feta cheese for goat cheese if you prefer a creamier texture.

Storage & Reheating

Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to store it for longer than a day, keep the parsley separate and stir it in right before eating to maintain freshness.
