For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of toasted fennel seeds or a handful of toasted walnuts. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in ice water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This salad pairs beautifully with grilled fish, chicken, or as a light lunch on its own.
