  • 1⁄2 tsp 1/2 salt

  • 1⁄2 tsp 1/2 red pepper flakes

  • Salad
  • 15 15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half

  • 1 1 yellow pepper, finely chopped

  • 1⁄2 cup 1/2 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (chiffonade-style*)

  • 1⁄4 cup 1/4 thinly sliced green onion

  • To prepare vinaigrette: In bowl, whisk all ingredients until combined.
