Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- I like to remove the seeds from the tomatoes but this is a matter of personal preference. If you leave the seeds in you will have a lot more juices in the base of the salad.
- I find a melon baller or a teaspoon is the best way to remove the seeds from the tomatoes.
- You are looking to have all the ingredients chopped to an even, fine dice.
- If you would like less bite in your red onion you could rinse it in cool water after it's diced then drain it really well on paper towel before you add it to the salad.
- Verjuice can be found near the vinegars in the supermarket.
