🍳 Instructions

- Let it mingle Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve fresh or chilled.
🌿 Optional Add-Ons
- Crumbled feta or fresh mozzarella

This salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fish, or even tucked into pita with hummus. Want a version with couscous or chickpeas to make it a full meal? I’ve got ideas for that too.
