Notes
Onion Prep: If you're not a fan of the sharpness of raw onions, soak them in ice water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the salad. This will mellow their flavor while retaining their delightful crunch.
Olive Varieties: Experiment with different types of olives for unique flavors and textures. Kalamata, green, or stuffed olives can add exciting dimensions to your salad.
Herb Options: While oregano is fantastic, you can also try other herbs like basil or parsley. If using dried herbs, remember to use half the amount, as they are more concentrated.
Customization: Don't hesitate to make this salad your own by adding extras like crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, or avocado slices for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Serving Temperature: Serve the salad slightly chilled, making it a perfect choice for a refreshing summer dish.
