Something I always keep in mind when preparing this and other salads is the weather conditions. If I make this salad during hot summer then I’ll keep the tomatoes and onion chilled in the fridge prior to cutting them and assembling the salad - it really makes the salad taste better! Another way to intensify the taste of this fresh salad is to add ½ or 1 teaspoon sugar (white granulated). This simple hack amplifies the spices and fresh ingredients flavors.
