• Add the sliced onion to the bowl. Add the herbs and crumble the feta in the bowl.

Fill the vinegar bottle cap with vinegar and pour over the grater into the bowl, to get the remaining bits of ginger and onion juice. Whisk ingredients together. Slowly drizzle in oil while whisking until emulsified.
• Spoon vinaigrette over the salad to serve.

Steps:

• Place tomatoes into a large bowl and add the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss the tomatoes so that everything is evenly coated. Let the tomatoes sit for about 10 minutes. (The salt will draw out flavor from the tomatoes.)
• Meanwhile make the topping: Combine the sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds, pistachios, granola if using, sesame seeds, chile powder and salt. Toss to combine. Season with a few turns of black pepper and stir everything together.
• Add the chickpeas, feta, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to the tomatoes and toss to combine. Taste and adjust olive oil, salt and pepper to your liking. Tear up basil leaves and sprinkle on top.
• To serve, transfer tomatoes to a serving platter or individual bowls. When you are ready to eat, sprinkle with the crisp topping.
