  5. Pour the dressing over the veggie and protein mix. Toss gently until evenly coated.

  7. Optionally drizzle a little honey or balsamic glaze on top or sprinkle everything bagel seasoning for bold flavor.

Notes

Gently warm feta cheese in your hands before adding to help it bind better. Layer ingredients in clear containers to easily see contents. Drain canned beans thoroughly to avoid soggy bites. Store crackers separately to keep them crisp. These snacks are best served chilled. For vegan options, substitute dairy with plant-based cream cheese or yogurt. For gluten-free, use rice cakes or gluten-free crackers.
