Refreshing, Simple Tomato Salad For Summer - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 tomatoes, large, ripe, pref. organic
1 onion, very large, sweet (Vidalia or Texas Grano, not a sharp onion)
2 teaspoons salt, freshly ground from sea salt crystals (use Maldon or Himalayan or Fleur de Sel, all of which is tastier than table salt)
1 -2 teaspoon pepper, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon dried basil

Preparation

Wash and dry tomatoes, do not peel.
Slice each in half, and then, with the flat sides on a wooden board, slice in the length and then across again -- into small chunks.
Slice and chop the onion in the same way.
Mix in a salad bowl.
Add the three flavourings and mix well.
Cover with plastic wrap and leave to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Eat as is -- to get that wonderful flavour of sunripened tomatoes and soft, sweet onion!
Or you can drizzle over some vinaigrette which is not acidic. (That will spoil the fresh, simple, down-home tastes).
