“This is a quick and easy vegetable dish my mother made frequently, using vegetables fresh from our garden. Almost any type of cheese can be substituted if your family doesn't care for blue cheese.” - by DOUGGEE

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 pinch salt

"This recipe is fabulous! I added a splash of balsalmic vinegar when adding the tomatoes and it added a yummy contrast to the blue cheese and some nice color contrast for an attractive dish. MMMMM!!!..." See more My family loved this one."
