• 0.5 medium red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 6 large fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Step 9
