Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh, high-quality olive oil and ripe cherry tomatoes.
  • You can refrigerate the salad for up to 2 hours before serving, but it's best enjoyed fresh.
  • Optional additions include a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a few olives for extra taste.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference to enhance the flavors.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully as a light lunch or a side for grilled meats and fish.
