- Toast the pine nuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat before adding them to the salad to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chili peppers based on your heat tolerance; you can remove the seeds for less heat.
- Mix the olive oil and vinegar thoroughly to create a well-blended dressing that coats the salad evenly.
- Let the salad sit for a few minutes after tossing to allow the flavors to meld together.
