Prepare to be dazzled by this cherry tomato salad that gets ready in less than 10 minutes. Its fresh flavors, vibrant colors, and sweet-and-sour dressing make this salad a hit for get-togethers on the patio
Salad dressing - In a small bowl or a mason jar, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and olive oil - use a whisk and combine well.
Onions - In a large bowl, add the onions to a bowl along with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Combine this well. Pro tip - Time permitting, let the onions marinate for 5 minutes. Marinating the onions with the dressing first takes away the raw taste of onions and softens them up.
Salad - Then, add the tomatoes, remaining dressing, and parsley. Combine well.
Enjoy!
