Serving
The secret to this salad is to let it sit. So, don’t skip this step. Chill it for at least an hour, but overnight is even better. Everything melds together and creates big flavors. Serve this with some crusty homemade bread or a great vegetarian meal, or top it with grilled chicken, tuna, or even boiled eggs. It’s very versatile and gets better the longer it marinates, so try doubling the recipe. You can serve the second batch the next day in a different way, and it will be even more delicious than the first time you eat it. Kali Orexi!
