Notes
- You may be wondering why this recipe calls for two types of salt. It’s better to use a standard kosher salt in the dressing so it will dissolve, then add the sprinkle of coarse salt over the end as a finishing touch.
- You can use any ripe tomatoes for the salad, but I prefer to use a variety of heirloom tomatoes for the different colors and textures.
- This salad is best when eaten immediately, so plan accordingly with your timing.
