Step 1

1. Place the onion in a bowl with ice water to cover. Let stand for 30 minutes, then drain well in a colander and blot dry with a paper towel. 2. Combine the vinegar and salt in a bowl and stir or whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the onion, tomato, pepper, cayenne, oil, and cilantro and gently toss to mix. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, vinegar or cayenne; the relish should be highly seasoned. The relish is good now; it will be amazing if you let it stand to ripen for a few hours before serving. Serve the relish the same day you make it.
