1 tbsp olive oil
14g

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
6. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter. For the best flavor, allow the salad to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving, giving the flavors time to meld together.
