Tips:

- Ensure that the feta cheese is firm to avoid it falling apart during pan-frying.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the feta from sticking.

- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the red onion in a little vinegar before adding it to the salad.

- Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for uniformity and better presentation.

- Toast the garlic cloves lightly before crushing them to enhance their aromatic properties.

- Drizzle some extra olive oil on the salad before serving for an additional layer of richness.
