Tips & Substitutions
For a fresher flavor, consider using a mix of fresh herbs instead of dried oregano. You can substitute the salad oil with olive oil for a richer taste. If you want to add some crunch, diced cucumbers or bell peppers can enhance the salad's texture. The dressing can be adjusted with a splash of lemon juice for brightness, similar to Mediterranean recipes.
