1. 1

   Halve the onion and slice it into very thin half rings.

2. 2

   Put the onion in a bowl with a pinch of the salt. Rub it with your fingers for 1 min, then leave for 5 min to soften.

3. 3

   Cut the tomatoes in half through the stem, then slice into thin half-moons about 3 mm thick.

4. 4

   Chop the cilantro finely.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes and cilantro to the onion. Sprinkle with the rest of the salt and the pepper.

6. 6

   Toss gently with your hands, so the slices keep their shape.

7. 7

   Leave for 5-10 min, until the tomatoes release their juice. Serve cold or at room temperature with the juice.
