For a heartier salad, add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas or white beans. If you don't have fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme can be substituted. To add a bit of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. The salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors meld beautifully over time. Consider adding other fresh herbs like parsley or dill for a more complex flavor profile.
