For the dressing:

• 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons of vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional)

Note: Since you are going to add raw onions to the salad, you want to choose the sweet ones. You can use Walla Walla onions or Vidalia onions. For the tomatoes, you can choose any type.
