In Israel I would make this with prickly pear — which is very common there, though slightly harder to come by in the UK!. It’s one of the staple dishes in our catering menu. Capers add such a depth of flavour — buy the smallest ones you can find. And, because it’s Shavuot, we added creamy goat’s cheese. Substitute for feta if you like.
