Cook's notes
- Use the highest quality, vine-ripened tomatoes you can find for the best flavor.
- Toss the salad just before serving to keep the herbs crisp and the tomatoes from releasing too much water.
- Let the salad sit for 5 minutes after tossing to allow the herb-infused dressing to soak into the tomatoes.
Easy swaps
- Swap parsley for cilantro if you prefer a brighter, citrusy flavor profile.
- Add finely diced cucumbers for an extra crunch and classic Armenian salad texture.
- If you like heat, sprinkle in a pinch of Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
