In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are coated evenly.
If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the salad for added flavor and texture.
