Steps
- 1Begin by preheating a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cut 2 tomatoes in half and coat each cut side with oil. Oil the sliced onion as well. Place the oiled onions and tomato halves on the hot grill. Grill them, flipping occasionally, until they develop a light char and become tender, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Allow the grilled vegetables to cool down a bit before proceeding.
- 2Begin by deseeding the two remaining tomatoes and chopping them into 1/4-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the jalapeño and salt, ensuring everything is well combined. Proceed by finely chopping the cooled onions and tomatoes, then add them to the bowl with the raw tomato mixture. Toss everything together until thoroughly combined.
