Tips
This salad, courtesy of Alice Waters, is also delicious served over greens such as baby arugula or butter lettuce leaves. If you are adding greens, you may want to increase the white wine vinegar to 1 teaspoon and the olive oil to 2 tablespoons so that you’ll have enough dressing to coat the greens.
