- 1 small red onion
- 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and sprinkle them over the tomatoes.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly.

While the tomatoes cool, thinly slice the red onion and set it aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the balsamic vinegar to create a simple dressing.
Add the roasted tomatoes to the salad greens, and drizzle the dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad, and top with fresh basil leaves for garnish.
