Ingredients

  • 4 Vidalia onions (about 2 pounds, available seasonally at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets), peeled
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 6 slices of lean bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh basil or parsley leaves
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season the onions with salt and pepper, wrap them individually in foil, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350 °F. oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender. Let the onions cool in the foil and discard the foil. Chop the onions coarse, discarding the root ends, and in a bowl toss them with the tomatoes, the bacon, and the basil. In a small bowl whisk together the garlic paste, the vinegars, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk dressing until it is emulsified. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss the salad well, and serve it, chilled or room temperature, with grilled chicken or beef.
