Tips for Making this Recipe

• You can add fresh herbs to this recipe as well - I like adding mint and parsley.
• If you want a creamier salad, try adding in some crumbled feta cheese.
• This salad is also delicious with a mustard and garlic dressing as well, just add a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard and 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced or grated) to the dressing. It adds a nice little kick.
