Notes

Expert Tips
For larger tomatoes, you can quarter them instead of halving.
Level up this salad by using pesto instead of fresh basil. Stir in 2 tablespoons of pesto dressing on top before serving.
Serve this salad alongside some of our favorite pasta dishes: spinach artichoke alfredo pasta, chicken pasta with vodka sauce, or baked ricotta mac and cheese!
Dietary Notes: This recipe is vegetarian, gluten free (just ensure any dressing ingredients are certified gluten free), and low in fat if you use 1% cottage cheese.
