Peppered Tomato and Onion Salad

This super easy tomato and onion salad gets an extra boost of flavor from vibrant, crunchy peppers.

It’s a signature summer recipe from one of the very best cooks I’ve ever known – my Oma! And, it only takes 5 minutes to make!

- onion - kosher salt - tomatoes - bell peppers - white vinegar

In a small bowl, massage onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let sit for a few minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2-3 hours) while you prepare the rest of the salad.
