For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sumac to the salad. If you don't have fresh mint, dried mint can be used, but use it sparingly (about 1 teaspoon) as the flavor is more concentrated. The salad is best served immediately or within a few hours. If making ahead, add the salt just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming too soggy. Feel free to experiment with other herbs such as dill or cilantro. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
