Notes

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste; some people love extra lemon! Double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd—this salad goes fast! If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but add a splash of lemon juice before refrigerating to keep it crisp.
