5. **Mix the Salad**:

6. **Chill and Serve**:
– Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

This salad is versatile and can be enjoyed cold, making it ideal for picnics, potlucks, or as a make-ahead meal. Feel free to customize it with other ingredients like cherry tomatoes, olives, or boiled eggs!
