Cooking Tips

• Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes for the best taste.
• For added crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or croutons on top of the salad.
• If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can soak the sliced red onions in cold water for a few minutes before adding them to the salad.

Storage and Serving

• Tomato Delight is best served fresh and chilled.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Before serving leftovers, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and flavors.
