Notes
- For added crunch, consider topping with some toasted pine nuts or sliced almonds.
- This salad can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but toss just before serving for best taste.
- Use a vinaigrette style Italian dressing for authentic flavor, or substitute with a homemade dressing of olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs.
- Feel free to add artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers for variation.
- Best served chilled but not overly cold to maintain the texture and taste of the ingredients.
