Notes

There are numerous ways to spruce this salad up to your own specifications. The most important and obvious is add salt and pepper to your liking. I've found that just the right amount can really elevate a dish, this is especially true when working with vegetables. Other ideas include:
Add 1/4 cup of fresh basil.
Use cilantro instead of parsley
Add some diced avocado
Use halved grape tomatoes instead of chopped tomatoes.
