Ensure the salad leaves are dry to help the dressing hold better.

Thinly slice the red onion and separate it into layers.

Mix all the chopped ingredients together.

In a mason jar, add 1/4 cup macadamia oil (or olive oil or vegetable oil), 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

Cover the mason jar and shake to combine the oil and vinegar.

Taste the dressing and adjust to your liking, adding more vinegar for tang or more oil for a mellow flavor.

Add the dressing to the salad, being careful not to overdress it to avoid sogginess.
