I chop up cucumber. It adds a nice crunch. I've also used scallions, chopped finely...instead of regular onions. However, I've also used finely chopped red onion, which is tasty too.

I like the proportions in this recipe. I use the coriander since I love the flavor of cilantro. I have also added feta cheese to this, but it's just as good without.
