Yesterday I was making a Greek salad when I sadly realized that I'd forgotten to buy the red wine vinegar I needed. I also knew it wouldn't be responsible to go back to the store for just one item, and then I remembered what you said in this video; "Work with what you've got." So I went ahead and put in some balsalmic vinegar instead, and I actually preferred it! Definitely trying this salad next.

Great recipe, Kenji. I am a hardcore fan of your carnivore recipes and scientific approach to reach optimization which entice me to suggest Sumac powder (a must ingredient for a traditional Lebanese Fattoush) to be generously sprinkled over the pita crips and in the dressing with the lemon juice, EV olive oil and optional pomegranate molasses vinaigrette. The addition of the snap peas makes it less traditional IMO. Otherwise, it can't get closer... thank you.
