Notes

Substitutions: check out the post for a list of subs that can be made, including subbing the feta cheese with blue cheese.

Make-ahead Instructions: Follow the recipe as instructed, but don't add the dressing and don't toss the salad until you're ready to serve. Cover salad tightly, then store toppings in separate individual containers (oranges, nuts, feta, pomegranate) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
