Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 small red onion, peeled thinly sliced
¼ cup thinly sliced chives
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 lbs. ripe tomatoes
3 oz. (3/4 cup) cheese, blue, gorgonzola, feta…, etc, your choice


In a medium pan, stir the red-wine vinegar with 1 tsp. of salt until it has dissolved. Add the onion. Add a bit of water if needed and let simmer 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the chives, oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Prepare tomatoes and slice into ¼ inch thick slices. Put the tomatoes in a serving bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the tomatoes and marinate them for 15 minutes. Drain the onions, pressing them lightly to squeeze out any extra vinegar. Rinse onions again, add to tomatoes and toss. Season with salt and pepper, top tomatoes and onions with the cheese and serve.
