For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of capers or chopped Kalamata olives. Feel free to substitute the parsley with other fresh herbs like dill or mint. This salad is best enjoyed the day it is made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
