Notes
This salad is best served fresh. You can enjoy it right away or let it chill in the fridge for a bit. It's great on its own or as a side to grilled chicken or fish. Sprinkle some fresh herbs or seeds on top for extra flavor and crunch. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and are best eaten within 1-2 days.
