- Garnishing options: Sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or even a bit of chopped mint for that extra zing.
- Cooking tips: Freshly squeezed lemon juice really makes a difference. If you need more dressing, just multiply the ingredients. But remember, it’s about balance – like life, and tightrope walking.
