Tips
- Chef’s Tip -Be sure to use high-quality olive oil and ripe tomatoes, as their freshness and flavor are essential to this classic dish.Let the salad sit for about 15-20 minutes after tossing it with the dressing. This allows the flavors to meld together, and the bread can soak up the dressing and juices from the vegetables, creating a more cohesive and flavorful salad.
