Notes
If raw onion is not your jam, try roasting them prior to adding them to the salad. Roasting onions mellows the bite of the onion and can bring out a lot of natural sweetness.
Using a serrated cheese or bread knife makes slicing the tomatoes simple and mess-free.
Store in the fridge for 2-3 days or at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours.
