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.

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