2 lbs ripe tomatoes (a mix of heirloom, beefsteak, or cherry), cut into wedges or halved
½ small red onion, very thinly sliced

1 tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp flaky sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of basil used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid basil, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)

Instructions

1
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or halve them if using cherry varieties, and arrange them in a large mixing bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp of the flaky salt and toss gently, then let them sit for 10 minutes until they begin to release their juices.
2
While the tomatoes rest, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, remaining 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper, and garlic, if using, in a small bowl until combined.
