Simply open the container and serve. For an enhanced flavor, you can let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the ingredients to meld. You can also add a drizzle of extra olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. It is best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. This salad is fully prepared and requires no cooking.
