There are so many ways you could make this salad your own. Sometimes I add crumbled feta, it adds a great richness and more savory goodness.

You can also use from fresh herbs. Parsley, chives, or green onions would all be great options.

If you don’t have honey on hand, use a couple of Tablespoons of granulated sugar instead. It helps to balance the vinegar in the dressing and highlights the natural sweetness of the veggies.
