Notes

For best results, dress just before serving and keep extra dressing on the side. You can make this salad using cherry tomatoes or any variety of tomato you like. This salad is customizable to what you have on hand. Some other ingredients that are nice in this salad are artichokes, roasted red peppers, cucumber or bell pepeprs.
