  1.  If  using   the onion,  place   in  a   medium  bowl    and cover

    with cold water. Set aside for 30 minutes.



  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the tomatoes with the
    salt. Transfer to a colander or strainer set over a large
    bowl and set aside for 30 minutes.

  3. Combine the vinaigrette with 2 tablespoons of the juices
    from the tomatoes in a large bowl and whisk to combine
    (discard any remaining juices). Whisking constantly,
    slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream to emulsify.
    Drain the onions, if using, and add to the bowl. Add the
    tomatoes, cheese, and basil, season with plenty of
    pepper, and toss to combine. Serve.
