Mix all salad ingredients together in a bowl.

Chop all ingredients thoroughly for the salad.

Make the salad dressing by combining 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup fresh minced basil leaves, and the juice of 2 lemons.

Mix the dressing until thoroughly combined.

Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

When ready to serve, take out the desired amount of salad and add enough dressing to coat without being too goopy.

Plate the salad and top it with crispy fried onions and sliced tomatoes for garnish.

For a stacked presentation, use a stacking ring to pack the salad, top with fried onions, and carefully unmold it.
