For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the red onion before dicing and adding it to the salad. Feel free to customize the vegetables to your liking. Bell peppers, olives, or marinated artichoke hearts would be delicious additions. To toast sesame seeds, place in a dry pan over medium heat. Heat until fragrant and golden brown. Be careful, they burn easily! The salad dressing can be made from scratch using olive oil, red wine vinegar, herbs and spices.
