For enhanced flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Toasting the almonds before adding them to the salad enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. Feel free to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of red pepper flakes for extra zest. This salad is also delicious served cold or at room temperature.
