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.
