Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until golden. This will be about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, add the garlic and sauté for another minute, still stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the garlic, onion, and hot oil mixture to the salad. Pour overtop, but make sure to mix everything to combine.

Marinate in the fridge for at least an hour prior to serving. Garnish with finely chopped greens like parsley or cilantro and enjoy!
