Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes with the onion, olive oil, and vinegar. Season with salt and set aside at room temperature, stirring every 5 minutes, until the flavors have married, the onions are slightly softened, and the tomatoes have started to release their juices, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Arrange the tomato slices on a serving platter and then spoon the cherry tomatoes and dressing over the top. Season with pepper, sprinkle with the mint leaves and sea salt, and serve at room temperature.
