Serve this no-cook Mediterranean salad on its own or over a bed of greens like arugula, spinach or watercress. A side of fresh mixed melon tossed with lemon juice would make a sweet and delicious accompaniment. The lemon zest used a garnish gives the finished dish a tantalizing burst of fresh flavor. To make sure you remove the zest from the lemon and not any of its bitter pith, use a tool like microplane zester to gently grate its rind. Make the salad ahead so it has plenty of time to marinate. If you have leftovers, turn the salad into lettuce wraps the next day by scooping the mixture into crisp romaine lettuce leaves.
