For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic as it cooks. Feel free to customize the vegetables in this salad based on your preferences and what's in season. Bell peppers, cucumbers, or zucchini would all be delicious additions. If you don't have time to chill the salad before serving, it will still taste great! However, allowing it to sit for a while allows the flavors to fully develop.
