Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For an extra crunch, add some chopped nuts or seeds. Experiment with different herbs like mint or parsley for a twist. You can swap lime juice with lemon juice for a different taste profile, or incorporate some feta cheese for a creamy element.
