Chef's notes
Add chopped celery, adding veggies is always a good idea!
Use red onion instead of green onion.
Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes or chopped tomatoes.
Add pine nuts for a crunch.
Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you want a cheesy, salty kick!
Chop up olives and stir them into the salad.
