Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Soak the red onions in ice water for about 10 minutes to mellow their sharpness.
- Always use fresh herbs for the best flavor—dried herbs won’t give the same effect.
- For added crunch, sprinkle in toasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds.
- Allow the salad to sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
