Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the vegetables may release some liquid. Make-ahead: Chop vegetables and store separately; combine and dress just before serving for optimal texture. Variations: Add diced avocado or olives for richness, or substitute parsley with fresh mint for a different herb note. Serving suggestions: Serve as a side with grilled chicken, falafel, or alongside hummus and warm pita bread.
