Notes
- Wash and prep all ingredients.
- Use fresh basil, not dried
- If you choose to use fresh oregano you'll need to use more than 1 tsp. I recommend using 2 teaspoons of fresh.
- Don't over salt. This can cause the tomatoes to get mushy too quickly.
- If you don't have vegetable stock use olive oil, or leave out all together.
- If you have time before serving I recommend allowing the salad to marinate for an hour to meld all the flavors together.
- Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but tastes best eaten fresh the day you make it.
