Tips:

  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes to create a more complex flavor. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and Roma tomatoes are all great options.

  • Let your salad cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together.
