Notes

    • You can also add any other ingredients that you have on hand: red onion, green onion, lemon juice, and fresh herbs
    • For added crunch and texture toss in a handful of walnuts, almonds or any other kind of nuts you like.
    • For more of a dressing, drizzle balsamic vinegar or extra virgin olive oil on top of the salad. Not too much, though! Let the flavors of the salad ingredients shine through.
