your pestilences--
here's something i made for lunch today (easy as fuck)
1) a small red onion, cut in 2 halves lengthwise, then flat on the board and across to make very thin half-rings with it.
2) put in a non-reactive bowl or tray. add some vinegar. usually i use red but this time i had to empty a bottle of balsamic. then i supplemented with (gasp!) apple cider vinegar. it doesn't really fucking matter-- just splash with vinegar-- as long as it's not white distilled vinegar (good for washing windows and doing laundry) you should be fine.
3) cut about 4 tomatos. i get rid of the seeds. round slices are nice but whatever works. i chopped it small.
4) add some basil. i always have dried basil at home so i tossed in lots of it.

at this point you can let it sit for 20 minutes, add olive oil, and eat. if you want more substantial stuff, proceed.

5) after the onion has mellowed (20 mins?) take a couple of cans of chunk white tuna, drained of water, work in your hands to break it down and toss. add more olive oil.
6) eat with a nice lettuce (romaine, red leaf, etc), a good bread, and the wine of your choice.
easy and fucking delicious. soak your bread in the glorious elixir at the bottom.
