Steps:

  • Use fresh herbs, such as basil, mint, or cilantro. Herbs will add a pop of freshness and flavor to your salad.

  • Make sure to chill your salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve your salad with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of lemon zest. This will add an extra layer of flavor and richness.
