Anyways! Enough of that.
Summer time is finally here. Ok, not officially, but it sure feels like it.
It's warm, it's humid, it's sunny. I don't know about you, but for me, summer represents freshness. Fresh clothes, fresh smells and most importantly, fresh food.
Lots of veggies. Colorful veggies.
So, today I have for you a quick and easy recipe using very little ingredients. A fresh and delicious tomato salad.
Here is what you will need:
- 1 large red tomato, chopped
- 1 large yellow tomato, chopped
- 1 medium size tomatillo, chopped
- 1/3 cup of chopped red onion
- 1 half of green pepper, chopped
- 1/3 cup of fresh, chopped, cilantro (coriander)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil (you can use whatever oil you have at home)
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (balsamic, wine vinegar will work just as well)
- 1 dash of salt and pepper
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of either cayenne pepper or Tabasco
So, having all your ingredients ready, all you need to do is throw them in a large bowl and mix well.
For the cayenne/Tabasco, I suggest you go little by little and taste. You can add more according to your liking. Let sit in the a cool place (like the refrigerator) for about 15 minutes to make sure all the ingredients' flavour mix well together.
And that's it! It reminds me of a cross between bruschetta and a fresh salsa. You can have it as a salad, you could add fresh lettuce to it as well. Have it on bread. So many possibilities! And it keeps for about 2-3 days.
Enjoy!
