  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad with just enough dressing to coat the vegetables.
