Notes
- Add red pepper flakes to the dressing for a mild spicy kick if desired.
- Incorporate pepperoncinis for extra flavor and crunch, but use sparingly as they can be quite addictive.
- Boost protein by adding white beans like chickpeas or navy beans to the salad.
- Top with grilled or baked chicken, steak, tofu, or fish such as salmon or tuna to make a complete meal.
- For olive lovers, stirring in olive tapenade to the dressing adds a rich depth.
- If Dijon mustard isn’t preferred, substitute with another mustard type or omit entirely.
- Fresh herbs like dill or mint enhance the dressing’s Mediterranean taste.
