Notes
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This salad is meant to be eaten right away. If you keep all of the ingredients prepared and separate you can make this up to 1 day ahead of time.
How to Store: Cover in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will not freeze well.
When it comes to selecting olive oil I like to purchase imported from Italy and always extra virgin for full flavor.
This salad is malleable, so if you want more tomatoes, cheese, herbs, olive oil, and salt and pepper then please customize it to make it your own.
