   Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices. Peel the onion, halve it, and slice it into thin strips. Wash the lettuce and gently shake off excess water.

   Split the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Rinse the lime under hot water, dry it, zest the peel, and squeeze out the juice. Combine juice, zest, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a pot and let them simmer slightly. Add 6 tbsp olive oil and the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
