Instead of using cucumber, you may add black olives and corn… used red onions rather than green… This recipe doesn’t call for much spices, salt and pepper and there it goes… I think they don’t want it to be sour thats why lime juice or vinegar are not present…
This is the Italian version… They did not put some cucumber… Instead of using juice of lime or lemon they used red wine vinegar, and whole fennel substitutes cumin seed while red onions are present in absence of green onion… Parsley is also added…
Wow, it really tastes delicious. The ingredient listed here are pretty cool and it can actually add a wondrous flavour to this yummy salad dish. More than vinegar, I prefer to add some filament or little fresh lime juice drops. That makes me wow and crazy for salad. Apart from these even if you for vege- salads or chicken salad prefer olive oil some time rather than any other kind of oil. It is beneficial to the health.
