Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, either on its own, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens. Enjoy this light and flavorful Mediterranean dish!
