- Use ripe, high-quality tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom varieties work especially well.
- For a more intense basil flavor, consider tearing the basil leaves by hand instead of chopping them, as this releases more of the essential oils.
- If you prefer a sharper flavor, try using red onion instead of white onion.
- To make the salad more visually appealing, consider using a mix of different-colored tomatoes.
- For a creamier texture, you can substitute fresh mozzarella for the low moisture mozzarella.
- Ensure the salad is well-chilled before serving to enhance the refreshing taste.
- Consider adding a splash of balsamic glaze for added sweetness and complexity.
