Instructions

Peel the onions and cut them into thin rings. Put them in a bowl and cover with cold water for 10 minutes to mellow their bite.
Drain the onions well and squeeze them between your hands to remove excess water.
Cut the tomatoes into wedges or cubes, seeds removed if possible, then add them to the onions.
In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
