Remarks
You will notice that this recipe contains neither potatoes nor green beans, which to my mind aren't sufficiently Mediterranean to be included.

As with any salad recipe, the amounts are only approximate, so do adapt it to suit yourself.
And to drink?

Keeping: A few hours in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
