  • Don't over-mix the salad: Over-mixing will make the salad mushy. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are evenly combined.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or parsley: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
