Note

For best flavor, use ripe, vine-ripened tomatoes. If tomatoes are very juicy, you may want to reduce the vinegar slightly.

Malt vinegar has a distinct flavor; if unavailable, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute, though the taste will differ slightly.

This salad is best served fresh. If storing leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The tomatoes may release more liquid over time, so drain before serving if necessary.

For added texture, consider topping with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of black pepper just before serving.
