Ingredients

3 plum tomatoes (8 ounces) 

2 baby cucumbers, finely chopped (1 cup) 

2 teaspoons pepperoncini brine 

Kosher salt 

Preparation

Bring a small pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice-water bath. With a sharp knife, cut a shallow X into bottom of each tomato. Add to pot and cook until skins begin to curl away from cuts, 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer to ice-water bath. When cool enough to handle, peel tomatoes with a paring knife, halve, and remove seeds. Finely chop (you should have about 1 cup) and transfer to a bowl, along with cucumbers, brine, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.
