During warmer days, this is exactly the kind of thing I want around: fresh, cold, sharp, and easy to put on almost anything.

Use it as a simple salad, spoon it over greens, pile it onto buttered sourdough toast with a little finishing salt, or serve it over grilled meat. It works especially well with fish, pork, or chicken.

Two things that matter

This gets even better the next day, so it is a good one to make in advance.
