Tips from the Expert
For the best flavour, use good olive oil. It is best to use extra virgin olive oil. For extra crunch, you could cut up some celery stalks and add them.
1
Before serving, chop up some fresh parsley or dill to give it a pop of colour and taste. Because you let the salad sit in the fridge overnight, the flavours can fully blend together.

For a lighter meal, put the salad inside a pita and serve it over crisp lettuce. The leftovers will be kept in the fridge for two to three days in a container that won't let air in.
