Notes
Feel free to make this salad your own! If harissa is too spicy, a mild chili paste or even a dash of smoked paprika can work wonders.
You can also switch up the veggies depending on the season – try adding roasted sweet potatoes or cherry tomatoes for variation.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the flavors will deepen beautifully! Enjoy your culinary creativity!
