Cover the bowl and chill the Mizeria in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This also helps the salad to become even more refreshing.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of thinly sliced red onion.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice to your liking.
Mizeria is best served chilled. It's a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or hearty stews.
