For an enhanced flavor, consider using a variety of heirloom tomatoes in different colors and sizes. Soaking the red onion in ice water helps to remove some of its harshness, making it more palatable. If you don't have white pepper, black pepper can be substituted, but the flavor will be slightly different. Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar and oil to your liking. Some people prefer a more acidic dressing, while others prefer a richer, oilier dressing. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you're making it ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy. A pinch of sugar can be added to the salad to balance the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar.
