  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes 

  • 1 red pepper, cut to chunks

  • 1 shallot, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, cut to stripes without the seeds

  • 1 lime, sliced to circles

  • Handful of fresh basil for decoration

  • olive oil to drizzle

  • Date syrup to drizzle

  • Juice from 1/2 lemon

Spice Mix Ingredients:
