For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the banana pepper before slicing.
Allowing the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Adjust the amount of banana pepper to your desired level of spice.
