Notes

My Top Tip: Use fresh ingredients! This salad is all about the produce, so quality matters. Make sure you're using ripe but firm tomatoes so they hold together when cut.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. That said, I recommend eating this one ASAP after making!
