For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a handful of fresh parsley before serving. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This salad is best when the vegetables are fresh and in season. Look for firm, vibrant produce for the best flavor and texture.
