Notes
- The tomatoes can be cut even smaller if you prefer it. The key is to make sure the seeds of the tomato stay intact.
- You can pre-make the salad before you serve and leave it at room temperature. This will allow all the flavors to come together even more.
- Store the left-overs in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It will last you a few days.
