Notes
Storing Tips:
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. We like to let it sit out for 10 to 15 minutes prior to serving to take the chill off.
- We don’t recommend freezing this salad, it will change the texture of the vegetables.
- If you want to make this tomato side dish in advance, it’s ideal for that. You can mix everything together and allow it to marinate for up to 2 hours ahead of a party or weeknight dinner.
