Achichuk (Tomato and Onion Salad)

Method

1. 1

   Slice the tomatoes thin and set them aside.

2. 2

   Shave the onion as thin as your knife allows; rinse briefly in cold water to soften its bite.

3. 3

   Slice the chili thin and tear the basil leaves.

4. 4

   Layer the tomato, onion, chili and basil in a shallow bowl; salt and toss gently.

   💡 Thin is the technique. Achichuk cut thick is just a tomato salad.

5. 5

   Rest 10 minutes so the vegetables release their juices into a natural dressing, then serve alongside the plov.
