PS why is only the tomato organic, and not all the other ingredients?
Actually, they all are and I just failed to list it repetitively. My preference is to eat all organic and non-GMO as much as possible. Thanks for the post and enjoy the salad! Be well and Stay Healthy.
This looks amazing!! I would add a small amount of either balsamic or red wine vinegar though, in addition to the olive oil, for a bit more flavor.
Thanks! I also enjoy balsamic and red wine vinegar with my salads and may just add this ingredient to the line up here or at least as a flavor option.
