For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of sumac or a drizzle of pomegranate molasses. If you don't have fresh mint on hand, you can substitute with dried mint, but be sure to use a smaller amount as dried herbs are more potent. This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be sure to drain any excess liquid before serving.
