How to Make Tanzanian Tomato Salad

Step-by-Step

Add diced onion, hot water, and salt into a deep salad bowl. Stir until salt dissolves. Using your hand, crush the onions to release the flavor into the water - takes about a minute.
Add sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to onion water. Stir vegetables with your hand. Best served immediately. If it sits a little while, be sure to stir again before serving.
