Tips & Storage
- Always use tomatoes and cucumber, but change the other vegetables to your liking.
- Try adding different fresh chopped herbs - basil, coriander, mint.
- Store refrigerated for up to three days.
- Vary the amounts of oil and lemon juice.
- Use fresh lime juice instead or lemon.
- Serve in lettuce boats.
- Spoon onto canapes or crackers with houmous.
- The longer you rest the salad, the more intense the flavours will become. The warmer the salad (i.e. leave it out, not refrigerate it), the more intense the flavours will become.
