Preparation

1. Core the tomatoes, and cut into thick slices. Peel the onion, and slice.
2. Combine the vinegar, oil, cheese, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Blend with a wire whisk (the dressing should be lumpy).
3. Arrange the lettuce leaves, slices of tomatoes and onions on a cold serving plate, alternating them and slightly overlapping. Pour the dressing over all. Sprinkle with the basil, and serve.
