• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Step 4

Drizzle the dressing evenly over the tomatoes and onions, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.

Step 5

Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them on top of the platter for a fragrant, herbal touch.

Step 6

If desired, add crumbled feta cheese over the top for a creamy, salty contrast.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a light appetizer or side dish. Best enjoyed fresh!
