Notes & variations
Serve as a healthy side salad with grilled chicken or fish. Pair with sandwiches, wraps or soups. Add to lunch boxes or picnic meals. Add crumbled feta cheese for a Mediterranean-style salad. Sprinkle with toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds or almonds for extra crunch. Add avocado just before serving for a creamy texture. Fresh herbs such as parsley, coriander or dill make an excellent addition. Best enjoyed fresh on the day it is prepared.
