Prepare Dressing.
In a small glass or jar, combine herbal tea and vinegar; steep for 1 hour - or up to overnight.
Strain the vinegar into a medium mason jar, pressing the herbal tea with the back of a spoon to extract as much of the infusion as possible; discard herbal tea.
To the tea-infused vinegar add the remaining dressing ingredients. Secure the lid and shake until well-blended. Adjust balance of flavors as needed with salt, pepper, and/or monk fruit. Dressing can be made 1 to 2 days in advance and refrigerated.
Shake well just before using (olive oil may solidify when chilled; let sit at room temperature before serving.)
Assemble Salad.
Add salad ingredients to a large bowl. Shake dressing; add 3 to 4 Tablespoons and gently toss to combine and coat. Add more dressing as desired.
*Tip: For delicious salad dressing variations, try a combination of two olive oils (1/4 cup each) - such as Basil & Lemon OR Basil & Extra Virgin.
