Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the cumin seeds before grinding them, or use a pinch of sumac for a tangy note. You can also add a finely minced garlic clove to the dressing for more depth.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to substitute cherry tomatoes with diced Roma tomatoes. If you don't have fresh parsley, fresh cilantro or mint would also work well. For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The vegetables may soften slightly over time, but the flavors will meld beautifully.
