For a creamier version, stir in a tablespoon or two of sour cream or Greek yogurt just before serving. Experiment with different herbs! Fresh mint or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a unique twist. If you don't have time to chill the salad for an hour, you can still serve it immediately, but the flavors will be more pronounced and less mellowed. Consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil to the dressing for an Asian-inspired variation.
