Ingredients

Dressing

2 tbsp white wine Vinegar or apple cider vinegar
½-1 tbsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
2 tbsp Olive oil

Salad

1 lb Cherry tomatoes halved
1 Sweet onion sliced
½ cup Parsley finely chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl or mason jar, combine vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Whisk or shake well to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, add the sliced onions and 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Mix thoroughly and let the onions marinate for 5 minutes to soften.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes or chopped medium-large tomatoes to the bowl.
Pour the remaining dressing over the tomatoes and onions.
Add the finely chopped parsley to the bowl.
Mix everything together until well combined.
Cover the bowl and let the tomato onion salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

Tomato Options: Use a mix of tomatoes for a vibrant presentation and flavour variety. Options include red cherry tomatoes, yellow grape tomatoes, or a combination.
Herb Choices: Enhance the flavour with fresh herbs like basil, mint, or oregano. Choose one or mix them for a layered, aromatic touch.
Storage: Transfer any leftover salad to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days for optimal taste and quality.

Recipe Variations:

Include diced cucumber for a refreshing crunch and added texture.
Mix in cubed feta cheese for a salty, creamy addition that pairs well with the other ingredients.
Swap white wine vinegar with balsamic vinegar for a slightly sweeter, richer flavour profile.
