This lovely salad is typical of the southern Mediterranean. It can be served as a side dish or an appetizer and is also delicious tossed with an herb vinaigrette in place of the yogurt dressing. A few slices of onion are an interesting addition, and a bed of greens makes an attractive presentation.
