Lastly, dish the salad onto a serving plate or serving bowl. Then top with about 3 ounces freshly crumbled feta cheese, 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios, extra black pepper and more sliced mint.

I like to use fresh feta as opposed to pre-crumbled because I like the texture a lot better. If you read the ingredient list of pre-crumbled cheese you’ll see that they are typically coated in a non-caking ingredient. I try to avoid it.
