Notes

Personalize the Recipe
This is a very flexible dish, so you can get as “fancy” as you want. Toss in some feta and olives for a Greek flavor profile. Shred some chicken, and stir it into the salad. Savory beef strips work too.
For texture, use cucumbers, chichi beans, and celery. Finally, change the herbs or add to the ones in the recipe, like basil, minced garlic, or oregano.
