Tips & variations
Tip
Grate the cheese on the large holes and add at the very end—the salad stays crisp and the cheese forms a creamy “snow” as it mingles.
Why it works
Salt and vinegar draw light juices from the tomatoes to create a fresh dressing; serving the cheese on top keeps the vegetables crunchy and seasons every bite.
Variation
Roasted pepper: Replace half the raw pepper with strips of roasted red pepper for sweetness.
Olive boost: Add 8–10 Kalamata olives, pitted and halved.
Vegan: Use a firm, lightly brined tofu grated on the large holes, or skip cheese and add capers for salinity.
