Notes

  • This salad is oh-so-easy to make AND customize! The amount of lemon juice from lemon to lemon will vary (as it depends on lemon size and ripeness) so feel free to adjust the amount of acidity in the salad to taste.
  • Paul and I like ours with a healthy dose of lemon and vinegar so I add a bit extra red wine vinegar. Sometimes we'll add a sprinkle of sugar to the salad to play off the sweetness of the tomato and contrast the lemon/vinegar a bit and it's also super delicious.
