Marinated Tomato And Pepper Salad Recipe Video
Jeanie Rose at Rebuild from Depression shares one of the family's favorite salads. She discusses how to select tomatoes and why each of the other ingredients (lemon, balsamic vinegar, red onion, basil, garlic).
Ingredients
4 large tomatoes
3 small bell peppers in green, yellow, and red
½ red onion
Small can of salad olives
4 cloves minced garlic
Handful of basil leaves, cut into ribbons
2 tablespoons capers
Juice of half a lemon
½ olive oil
Directions
1. Cube the tomatoes and yellow bell.
2. Thinly slice the red onion and place all in a bowl.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and lightly but thoroughly toss. All the veggies should be well coated, but not bruised. You want them all to hold their shapes.
4. This is best if it can sit for an hour to blend the flavors. However, this particular salad is most tasty if served on the day it is made. Refrigeration dulls the flavors and the textures begin to break down.
The bright, robust nature of this salad make it a perfect accompaniment for beef. Picture it as a companion to a sizzling steak!
Variations:
Add sliced raw mushrooms or diced Armenian cucumbers.
