- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.

- You can add a sprinkle of feta cheese or parmesan for an additional layer of taste.

- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture in your salad.

- If you prefer a milder dressing, reduce the amount of mustard and vinegar to taste.
