👨🍳 Instructions
Chop tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Slice red onion thinly for crunch and sharpness.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Pour dressing over tomatoes and onions.
Toss gently so tomatoes don’t get crushed.
Let it sit 5 minutes so flavors “magically” blend.
Top with fresh herbs and serve cold.
