Directions

Step 1
Chop the onion in half, peel off the outer skin, and finely slice. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and massage gently until the onion is coated. Let it sit for 20 minutes to soften and mellow.

Step 2
Chop the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks and add to a bowl. Pour in the vinegar and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 3
Add the salted onions to the tomatoes, toss well to combine, and transfer to a serving plate. Best enjoyed fresh alongside grilled dishes, crusty bread or on its own with a chilled glass of vinho verde.
