Notes

This salad can be garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats. For added flavor, sprinkle feta cheese or use a preferred dressing. Consider adding bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition. It can be made ahead of time and actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours.
