4 medium ripe tomatoes, about 3/4 pound total weight
1 medium-size red onion
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 pound crumbled blue cheese at room temperature
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Core the tomatoes, and cut into thick slices. Peel the onion, and slice.
Combine the vinegar, oil, cheese, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Blend with a wire whisk (the dressing should be lumpy).
