- 1 generous handful of mixed salad greens (approx. 50g)
- 1/2 medium onion
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Zesty Dressing Ingredients- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely minced onion
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of finely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of finely ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the cores and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-moons.
Step 2
To soften the onion’s sharp flavor and enhance its crisp texture, soak the sliced onion in cold water for about 10 minutes. Afterward, drain it well and pat it dry. This step makes the onion much more pleasant to eat raw.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the delicious dressing. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, minced onion, honey, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk everything together with a fork or a small whisk until well combined and the honey is dissolved. This creates a beautifully balanced and flavorful dressing.
Step 4
In a large serving bowl, add the mixed salad greens, the drained sliced onion, and the cut tomatoes. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the salad ingredients. Gently toss everything together to coat evenly, ensuring not to bruise the delicate greens. Your refreshing and satisfying tomato salad is now ready to be enjoyed!
