Method:
1. Add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Place in a colander if you are making it ahead of time, in order to allow the ingredients to drain a little.
2. Mix together the dressing ingredients, adding salt and pepper to taste.
3. When you are ready to serve it, transfer the salad into a serving bowl, pour the dressing on top and mix. Garnish with feta and basil (and blueberries, pumpkin kernels, and chilli flakes, if you like).
Enjoy!
