Ingredients
- ½ red onion small
- 12 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 pound tomatoes additional; cut into bite-sized wedges
- ¼ cup basil thinly sliced fresh; and/or small basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- 2 tablespoons vinegar thick balsamic
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt flaky sea salt or; to taste
- black pepper freshly ground; to taste
Instructions
- First, add the red onion that has been chopped to a small dish of ice water. (soaking the onion will tame its intense flavor and make it more crisp). As you prepare the remaining ingredients, set aside.
- Spread the tomato wedges out on a sizable serving dish to make the salad. About one-third of the onions should be layered on top after being well drained. Place half of the cherry tomatoes first, then any additional ingredients on top, then another third of the onions. Finish with the last of the cherry tomatoes, then the last of the onions, and top with basil.
- Over the salad, drizzle the balsamic vinegar and then the olive oil. Add a generous amount of black pepper and salt on top. Serve quickly.
