Notes
- Heirloom and cherry tomatoes would also be fantastic - if that's all you can access.
- An English cucumber is acceptable to use in this recipe.
- If raw onions don't agree with you - slice and soak them in some iced water for thirty minutes before serving (dry them first).
- Always wash your ingredients.
- Ensure that all the ingredients are fresh.
- If using a dressing, prepare it in advance and use it before serving the salad.
- Don't store any leftovers. Soggy tomatoes are not pleasant!
