  2. Core the tomatoes and slice into thin wedges.
  3. Finely chop 1/4 cup red onion.
  4. Whisk together the dressing: 2 tablespoons rice vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey.
  5. Arrange tomato wedges on a serving plate.
  6. Sprinkle with the chopped red onion.
  7. Season generously with salt (to taste).
  8. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving (optional, but recommended) for best flavor.
