Chef's Tips

For an extra layer of flavor, toast a few tablespoons of pine nuts or walnuts and sprinkle them over the salad just before serving. A pinch of dried mint can also enhance the herbal notes.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to substitute other fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for some of the parsley or dill. Cherry tomatoes, halved, would also be a great addition. If you don't have sumac, a little extra lemon zest can provide a similar bright, tangy note.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The herbs may soften slightly, but the flavor will remain good.
