Quick, easy, and delicious. If you're planning on having leftovers or putting the dish in the fridge for any amount of time, I recommend keeping the tomatoes separate and only cutting them right before eating. The flavor of tomatoes totally dies if they've been kept in the fridge. I substituted apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar and it was still great. If you don't like onion breath, be careful of how you prepare the onions. My first batch (small onion pieces soaked for 20-30 minutes) didn't leave me with lasting onion breath, but my second batch (larger pieces of onion, probably less vinegar used for soaking, but soaked for maybe an hour) was very potent. Make sure you don't skimp on the vinegar in the soak and that your onion pieces are small.
Delicious!
Excellent!
