Notes
Storage: Store cooled salad in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even better the next day. Make-Ahead: Prep all vegetables and vinaigrette up to 2 days in advance. Cook shrimp and zucchini just before serving for optimal texture. Variations: Substitute shrimp with grilled chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Add 1 cup of cooked quinoa or orzo for a heartier meal. For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or use a plant-based alternative. Serving Suggestions: Enjoy as a main dish or serve over a bed of mixed greens. Pair with a side of warm pita bread for a complete Mediterranean feast.
