Notes
Top Tips
This salad tastes best with ripe tomatoes. If you are buying your tomatoes from the market, likely they would have been picked from the vine before they had the chance to fully ripen. Leave your tomatoes out for a couple of days so that they finish to ripen, then store them in the fridge to keep them fresh.Nutrition
