Tips
Choosing Vegetables: Use the freshest tomatoes and cucumbers you can find. Heirloom tomatoes and English cucumbers are excellent choices for their flavor and texture.
Marinating Time: For the best flavor, marinate the salad for at least 1 hour, but it can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance.
Customizing the Marinade: Feel free to adjust the marinade to your taste. Adding a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar can add a different flavor profile.
Herb Variations: If you don’t have fresh basil, fresh parsley or dill can be great substitutes.
