Note

For added crunch and flavor, fold in 1/4 cup of pitted and quartered green olives and 1/4 cup of fresh flat-leaf parsley before serving.

This dish tastes even better after chilling in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, allowing the onions to become more translucent and the flavors to deepen.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
