Arrange red onion wedges on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, or until slightly browned, but still crunchy.  Allow to cool slightly (maybe 5-10 minutes).  Combine all ingredients in a bowl, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, more olive oil if desired, and salt and pepper to taste.  Mix and enjoy!
