- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley add a burst of flavor. Chop them finely just before serving.
- Let the Salad Marinate: Allow the salad to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve at Room Temperature: Bring the salad to room temperature before serving. This allows the flavors to fully shine.
