Preparation

Step 1
Combine all the ingredients and mix well. The salad can be eaten immediately or refrigerated. It becomes even more flavorful if it sits for a couple of hours.

Tip

If desired, roast the red pepper, cut up and add to salad. To make a light supper or lunch, drain a can of water-packed tuna and break up into small chunks; add to salad. Or serve the salad with roasted or broiled chicken, pork or lamb or sauteed or broiled fish.
