- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the onions:

Assemble the salad:

Mix and serve:
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl and toss everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
