Notes
To Make Ahead
- Chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions, then pour over about ¼ to ½ of the dressing and toss everything together. Store in an airtight container. When ready to serve, toss and add more dressing as needed.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Extra veggies: Try adding avocado, bell peppers, celery, grilled corn, or even blanched green beans.
- Cheese, please: Crumbled feta, mini mozzarella balls, or a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan are all delicious.
- Fresh herbs: Swap or add in dill, parsley, basil leaves, or a pinch of dried oregano or thyme.
- Add some protein: Top it with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon to make it a little more filling.
