Tips:

- If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped onions in cold water for about 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.

- Feel free to add some feta cheese or olives for an extra layer of Mediterranean flavor.

- Make sure to use fresh parsley for the best taste. Flat-leaf parsley is recommended.
