For a sharper flavor, try using red wine vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can be added for a brighter, more aromatic flavor profile. If you're short on time, you can reduce the chilling time, but the flavors will be more pronounced with longer marination. For a vegetarian option, ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly, as some brands use bone char in the refining process. Consider adding other vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber for added crunch and color.

Sep 13, 2024I made this salad for a potluck and it was completely gone within an hour! I substituted cannellini beans and it was just as delicious.
