Tips:
You should really use a wooden bowl if you have one, as well as wooden spoons to prepare this salad.
The easiest and fastest way to peel garlic is to wrap it in rubber, and roll it back and forth a few times. We use a rubber husband, it takes us 2 seconds to peel a garlic clove.
You are welcome to add cold pieces of chicken if you want to make a whole meal out of this.
