Expert Tips & FAQs
- With the exception of the red onion, all of the vegetables and cheese should be sliced into approximately the same size to make for a balanced mouthful. The red onion can be overpowering so we sliced it much thinner.
- Bell pepper and capers are other traditional mixins. Avocado is also popular to add to the salad.
- It’s hard to go wrong with the measurements on this salad – add as much or as little of any of the ingredients as you wish. The olive oil and lemon juice are light additions, simply drizzled over the top of the salad. No need to measure, just give a little drizzle. If there is too much, it will simply drain from the salad.
