Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pint firm cherry tomatoes (halved (2 cups; can sub chopped tomatoes))
1/4 cup chopped green onions (green parts only)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon orange zest ((from 1 orange))
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

In a serving bowl, combine the tomatoes and the green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients until they emulsify into a thick, velvety dressing. If the dressing seems too thick, add a teaspoon of water and mix it in.
Pour the dressing on top of the vegetables and mix to combine.
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. This is not strictly mandatory, but it does help the flavors meld and improves the salad's flavor.
