This was pretty good. I added some salt and sugar to the tomato/onion/herb mixture, but thought it just needed a touch of something else, as my tomatoes were just grocery store variety, not garden fresh and sun ripened. I drizzled a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar over my slice (just a few drops) and that really brought the flavors out for me. I'd definitely make again when my backyard tomatoes ripen.

So good...using the first batch of vine-ripened tomatoes I have bought this year and fresh basil and oregano from my little pots on the balcony. I could tell this was going to be more onion than my family would want and so I cut it down to 1 cup, which was perfect, imo. Thanks for a yummy, healthy recipe.
