- Transfer to a large bowl and cool.

Notes
- If you don’t have Mediterranean sea salt then just add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
- I add more lemon juice but if it is too strong, use 1/4 cup (1 lemon) instead.
- Make changes to suits your tastes.
- You can make the dressing and prep veggies the night before.
