Yes, you can substitute red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar for the lemon juice. Start with about 2 tablespoons and adjust to taste, adding more if you want a more pronounced vinegar flavor. White balsamic vinegar also works nicely. Just avoid regular distilled white vinegar as that has a harsher flavor.
What herbs can I use instead of oregano?
Fresh dill, basil, mint or Italian parsley would all taste great in place of the oregano. Start with 2 teaspoons chopped and add more to taste if desired. You can also use a combination like 1 teaspoon oregano + 1 teaspoon dill. Get creative with your favorite fresh summer herbs!
How long will the salad keep in the fridge?
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, within 2 days for peak flavor and texture. The vegetables may get watery if stored longer. Make sure your fridge is cold (40°F or below) for best results. You can also store the undressed chopped veggies separately from the dressing up to 5 days. To serve, pour over the vinaigrette and let marinate 30 minutes-2 hours.
