INGREDIENTS:
1 large Spanish or Vidalia onion, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced 1 tablespoon salt 5 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 serrano or jalapeno chile, seeded and finely minced 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro or parsley 3 tablespoons vegetable or extra-virgin olive oil



1 Place the onion slices and salt in a bowl; cover with cold water, and soak for about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water. Shake well. This step will eliminate most of the sharpness of the onion.
2 Arrange the tomatoes on a platter. Salt generously. Top with the onion, chile, and cilantro. Sprinkle the oil evenly over the salad, toss to combine, and serve at once.
