When buying vegetables for a salad with cherry tomatoes, it is best to be guided by the smell - it should be aromatic with obvious tomato notes. It would not be superfluous to inspect the skin for damage. It should be smooth and elastic. When buying seafood for a salad with shrimp and cherry tomatoes, you need to pay attention to their appearance. The shell should not have spots or damage, and the more curled the tail, the fresher the shrimp.
