Notes
- Use any tomatoes. I highly recommend using cherry or grape tomatoes. They are sweet, crunchy, and perfect for this salad.
- Oil: I used olive oil, but other oils like grapeseed oil or avocado oil will work
- Vinegar: I used red wine, but you may use white or balsamic.
- Use fresh garlic and not garlic powder
- Fresh parsley is preferred, but if in a pinch, use dried parsley
