This delicious French classic salad is already gluten and dairy free, however there are some variations you can make to it:- Other vinegars: choose Apple Cider Vinegar, Red Wine vinegar or white wine vinegar as the acid in the vinaigrette.
- Orange Juice: In place of the lemon juice, use fresh orange juice. You can add a little extra vinegar for oomph and tang.
- Different fresh herbs. In place of chopped parsley, try finely snipped chives, chervil, or in summer fresh tarragon.
- A little cumin or curry powder: It's controversial, but either take the salad into another flavor level.
