Notes

My Top Tip
♡ Buy the freshest produce for the best flavor. If red cherry tomatoes do not look good but yellow do, buy the yellow.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead: Because this is a garden-type salad, it really can't be prepared in advance of serving it. But you can measure and prep the ingredients earlier in the day and refrigerate them.
Storage: Dressed salad doesn't keep well. But if the salad is undressed, you can store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for a day.
