For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the red bell pepper before slicing it. This will impart a smoky sweetness to the salad. If you don't have fresh thyme, dried thyme can be substituted. Use half the amount of dried thyme as fresh thyme. Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as cherry tomatoes, celery, or fennel. For a creamier dressing, whisk in a tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
