Instructions
Step 1: Shake the dressing in a jar. Taste and add more salt or pepper, or oil if you want it less tart.
Step 2: Cut cherry or grape tomatoes in half. If using large tomatoes, cut them into wedges, then bite-size pieces.
Step 3: Place the tomatoes, onion and basil in a bowl.
Step 4: Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss gently and serve immediately.
Notes
Variations and storage
Swap the basil for chives, dill, parsley or oregano. Finely sliced green onions or small French onions can replace the red onion. For the dressing, use lemon juice, balsamic, white wine, red wine, champagne or sherry vinegar instead of cider vinegar.
Leftovers keep for up to 3 days. The tomatoes will become more like a marinated salad than a fresh one.
