Onion And Tomato Salad

Choose half a dozen firm, ripe tomatoes of medium size, wipe them with a wet towel and cut them into slices about one-fourth inch thick; peel a medium-sized Spanish onion and slice it very thin. Arrange the sliced onion and tomatoes in layers in a salad-bowl and pour over them a plain salad dressing made by mixing together one teacupful of salad oil, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-half saltspoonful of pepper. Use the salad as soon as made. Young green onions may be used for this salad.

Spanish Onion Salad

Soak some large Spanish onions for a few hours, changing the water several times, for the purpose of reducing their flavor. Slice the onions, put them in a salad bowl with a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, about a teacupful of vinegar and one-and one-half teacupfuls of salad oil; season with pepper and salt, toss the salad about to mix it, then serve with toasted crackers.
