Notes
- Store: Refrigerate salad for up to 24 hours.
- Best tomatoes to use: In summer heirloom varieties, and tomatoes on the vine when it comes to store-bought.
- Don't add the salt too early. As soon as you add the salt, the juices from the tomato and cucumber will start to release.
- Substitute for toasted sesame oil: Use more of olive oil.
