For a richer flavor, try toasting the garlic in a little olive oil before adding it to the dressing. Add some toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch and flavor. This salad is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Feel free to add other vegetables like red onion or bell peppers for added color and nutrients.
