Products used in the Herb & Brussel Feta Salad
Can I use other types of jam in the vinaigrette if I don't have strawberry hot jam?
While our recipe highlights the unique flavor of strawberry hot jam, you can certainly experiment with other fruit jams to create your own twist on the vinaigrette. Try raspberry jam for a slightly tart flavour or apricot jam for a sweeter touch.
How far in advance can I prepare the quick pickled red onions for this salad?
Our quick pickled red onions can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Preparing them in advance allows the flavors to meld and intensify, making them even more delicious when added to your salad.
Can I customize the herb selection in the salad according to my preferences?
Absolutely! Our recipe calls for a mix of Italian parsley, dill, green onion, and basil, but feel free to tailor the herb selection to suit your taste. Experiment with your favourite herbs or use what you have on hand to create a salad that's perfectly suited to your palate.
