Notes
Use ripe produce: Fresh, ripe tomatoes and blueberries make the biggest impact.
Tear basil by hand: This keeps it from bruising and helps release its oils.
Serve chilled or at room temperature: Both bring out different flavor nuances.
Toss gently: This helps keep the blueberries and cheese intact.
Use high-quality oil and vinegar: They make a noticeable difference in flavor.
