Rachel’s Tips and Variations
-
For added protein, toss in some grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
-
Substitute other types of tomatoes, such as diced heirloom or garden tomatoes, for a different flavor profile.
-
Add some crumbled feta instead of the parm cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Make it a meal by serving the salad on top of a bed of quinoa or garbanzo beans.
-
Since there are only a few simple ingredients used here, I really recommend using the absolute freshest, highest quality ingredients you can get your hands on…it makes all the difference.
-
The fresh lemon zest really elevates your flavor game! Don’t skip it!
-
ALWAYS use freshly squeezed lemon juice from an actual fresh lemon. Bottled lemon juice from the store will give your salad a strange metallic or overly acidic taste. We want this to taste super bright and fresh.
-
Make SURE that you actually love the taste of the extra virgin olive oil that you use for this salad, because your dish will come out tasting very much like the oil you use. They each have their own unique flavor.
Do you like chopping veggies?
I’ve found it to be very relaxing for me. Chopping veggies forces me to slow down, calm down, and be present. It’s incredibly soothing after a busy day and the finished result always makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment because my family will be eating all of these beautifully prepared fresh vegetables.
