I minced a large Walla-Walla onion and thinly sliced two heirloom tomatoes.
(Two different varieties which I bought at the farmers' market this
morning.) The tomato slices were arranged on a plate and the onions were
evenly distributed over them. The dressing is modified from the Moosewood
Thai Salad dressing:

6 Tbs good peanut butter
1 cup boiling water
4 Tbs cider vinegar
1 Tbs sugar or honey
1 to 1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly-ground black pepper (I used cubeb pepper.)
3 to 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
crushed red pepper or cayenne, to taste
2 tsp lemon or lime juice

Place the peanut butter in a small bowl. Whisk in the water, and beat well
until combined. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Dress salad about an hour before serving. (There should be lots of dressing
left over.)

Just before serving, cut basil and/or mint into chiffonade and sprinkle
evenly over top.
