Take advantage of whatever vegetables are in season to keep this salad interesting. You can replace any vegetable with almost any other. Leave out the ones you don't like and put in ones you like.
Try using fresh chopped herbs in place of the dried basil and thyme for a real taste treat.
If you want to really perk up this salad, toss in a few fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Or add a few melon balls for a sweet addition.
