Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup (15g) fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) honey
  • 1 small clove (3g) garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Halve the cherry tomatoes lengthwise and finely dice the red onion. Place both in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with sea salt; let sit for 3–5 minutes to release natural juices.
  2. In a small jar or bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Shake or whisk vigorously until the mixture is emulsified, thickened, and opaque.
  3. Add the torn basil leaves to the tomato mixture. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and use a gentle folding motion to toss until glossy. Season with cracked black pepper.
