Notes
- Tomato Tip: Use the freshest, firm-ripe tomatoes you can find—heirloom or beefsteak varieties work beautifully.
- Herb Flexibility: Dill adds brightness, while basil gives a classic Caprese vibe. Use what you love!
- Make Ahead: This salad can be made up to a day in advance—flavors deepen beautifully overnight.
