Good to know

Tips

  • Salt the vegetables a few minutes before serving to draw out their juices — the best part to dip bread into.

Common mistakes

  • Adding lettuce or vinegar-heavy dressing; the vegetables provide the acidity.

Serve with

  • Serve with grilled meat or fish, or as a light lunch with bread.

Storage

  • Best eaten fresh.
