For enhanced flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Consider adding toasted pine nuts or crumbled feta cheese for added texture and richness. Fresh mint can be used in lieu of, or in addition to, the parsley.

Feb 16, 2025I didn't have sweet onion, so I used regular yellow onion and soaked it in ice water for a few minutes to mellow the flavor. Worked great!
