Preparation
In a shallow bowl or container, combine celery, cucumber, cheese, carrots, oil, lemon juice, oregano, fresh basil salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or for up to 2 days.
Just before serving, stir in tomatoes and check seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
Tomatoes should never be refrigerated so adding them to the salad just before serving preserves their flavour and texture.
Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) black or green olives with the vegetables, if desired.
