This salad is beautiful just as it is, but if you wish to jazz it up a little, consider sprinkling other flavours on top before serving: freshly chopped coriander, freshly sliced chilli, roasted pistachios, crumbled pan fried pancetta, prosciutto or cabanossi … yum! Or you can try my favourite … a decent sprinkling of Spiced Nuts (see here).
