CHILEAN TOMATO AND SWEET ONION SALAD
(ENSALADA CHILENA)
"This salad is served with everything in Chile. To remove some of the sharpness of onions, Chilean cooks soak the slices in salted or sugared water."
1 medium Vidalia or other sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
6 large, ripe tomatoes, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
Salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
3 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
Place onion slices in a bowl with the sugar and cover with cold water. Soak 10 minutes, drain, rinse, and pat dry with paper towels.
Layer the tomato and onion slices on a plate or in a bowl, season with salt to taste, and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with jalape o and cilantro.
Makes: 4 to 6 servings
