For a richer flavor, try using toasted walnut oil in the dressing. Feel free to substitute other nuts like pecans or almonds. A sprinkle of fresh mint or basil adds a delightful herbaceous note. If you don't have pomegranate juice, cranberry juice can be used as a substitute. For a vegan version, replace feta cheese with a vegan alternative, such as marinated tofu or avocado.
