Notes
This salad only takes 20 minutes to make! If you need to save a little time, though, you can go ahead and prep the celery, onion and cucumber and store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge up to a day ahead of time.
This salad is best served immediately as the tomatoes will start to release their juices and can become more watery as it sits. If you do have some leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day. You could even use the leftovers for my favorite bruschetta with pesto or panzanella if you would like!
