- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 24 hours in the fridge, but best enjoyed immediately.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of cherry tomatoes, you can use regular tomatoes.
- Instead of balsamic glaze, you can use balsamic vinegar.
