Notes
- The salad is best served immediately after tossing to preserve the crisp texture of the vegetables.
- Fresh herbs like dill, chives, and mint contribute distinctive flavors and should be finely minced for even distribution.
- Sumac adds a characteristic tart note; if unavailable, a light squeeze of lemon juice can be a mild substitute.
- Goat cheese adds creaminess and tang; crumble just before serving to keep it fresh.
