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.

Place tomatoes and peppers in a medium bowl. Add onion mixture, vinegar, and oil. Stir to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning, adding additional salt if needed so the flavors pop vibrantly.

Serve immediately. (Or see note about making this ahead and storing for up to 5-6 days.)

You can also layer the peppers and then the tomatoes on top of the onions at that time, as well.
