Toss the tomatoes so they're coated and let them sit and drain while you make the rest of the salad. [substeps] The salt will bring out the excess moisture in the tomatoes so you don't end up with a soggy salad. Leave the remainder of the tomatoes on the bottom of a bowl so that they dry with a light touch. [substeps] If the tomatoes still have a bitter taste or a little of a bitter crunch to them, add a bit more kosher salt. Rinse them again and drain the water. Grate or crumble 2 tablespoons finely shredded onion into a bowl and place it on top of the drained tomatoes. [substeps] Wash 2 medium tomatoes and finely chop them into smaller pieces. [substeps] You can substitute a pinch of dried thyme for the salt if you prefer.
