For a richer flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of fresh. Simply roast a head of garlic until soft, then squeeze out the cloves and mash before adding to the pan. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to this dish. If you don't have white wine on hand, chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used as a substitute. Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs, such as parsley or oregano. Toasted pine nuts or a drizzle of balsamic glaze would also make excellent additions to this salad.
