Red onion adds a slight sharpness while basil completes the composition with fresh notes. This dish is perfect as a light appetizer, an accompaniment to the main course, or even as a standalone gastronomic delight with a glass of white wine. The salad embodies the spirit of Mediterranean cuisine where natural flavors play the main role, allowing one to feel the harmony of nature and traditions in every bite.
