I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I used goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

The crostini were a nice touch, but I think the salad would be just as good without them.

I was skeptical about the artichoke pesto, but it turned out to be a delicious and versatile condiment. I used it on the crostini and even as a marinade for chicken.
