Method
- Cut the tomatoes into thick wedges, over the bowl you mean to serve them in so none of the juice is lost. That juice is half the dressing.
- Slice the onion as thinly as you can manage. If it is fierce, leave the slices in cold water for ten minutes and drain them well.
- Deseed the pepper and cut it into thin rings, and chop the parsley coarsely.
- Salt the tomatoes first and leave them five minutes to draw, then add the onion, pepper, parsley, oil and vinegar and turn everything over gently.
- Taste, grind over some pepper, and serve within the half hour. After that the onion takes over and the tomatoes go slack.
