Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Add the onion slices to the salad.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the salad for a burst of freshness.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Serve the salad immediately or chill for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors. Enjoy this dairy-free, refreshing salad!
