Tomato, Basil and Red Onion Salad

I love fresh summer vegetable salads… like this easy and flavor-packed salad with tomatoes, red onion and basil in an easy red wine vinaigrette.

This is a perfect salad ANY time of the year and requires only a few minutes to prepare.

You just can’t beat the fresh vibrant flavors of tomatoes with basil and red onion in a tangy red wine vinaigrette.  Simple, healthy deliciousness!

Your Simple Ingredients

• Olive oil
• Red wine vinegar
• Honey
• Fresh garlic
• Salt and black pepper
• Grape or cherry tomatoes
• Red onion
• Fresh basil

My mama always makes me this salad when I eat with her in the summertime.  For some reason hers always tastes better (maybe it’s because I don’t have to make it?!).

Regardless, this salad is so simple and easy to make… and tastes amazing!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do.
