TIPS
Sugar – For sweeter brine add more tablespoons of sugar.
Vinegar – I used apple cider vinegar but feel free to use stronger vinegar such as white vinegar or milder (rice vinegar or wine vinegar).
More veg – Add red or yellow or green bell peppers.
Choose ripe tomatoes and cucumbers. The fantastic flavor of this juicy salad comes entirely from top-quality produce.
Garnish differently – we like fresh dill, thyme, rosemary, chives, parsley, or oregano.
Cheese – a sprinkle of feta, goat cheese, diced fresh mozzarella, or shaved Parmesan adds a delightful finishing touch.
Try this salad also with an easy Greek dressing.
