- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions

Notes
For a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced red onion in cold water with ice for 5 minutes before draining. This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, with dressing stored separately to prevent wilting.
