- Ingredient Freshness is Key: Always use the freshest vegetables and highest quality ingredients. The crispness of the cucumber and the sweetness of ripe cherry tomatoes make a huge difference.
- Prep Ahead: Slice and chop all ingredients beforehand to make the assembly quick and stress-free. This recipe is perfect for last-minute entertaining!
- Dressing Technique: Whisk the olive oil and red wine vinegar thoroughly to create a smooth, well-combined dressing that coats every ingredient perfectly.
- Let Flavors Mingle: Allowing the salad to rest for 5 minutes helps the ingredients absorb the dressing, intensifying the overall flavor profile.
