It's All Greek to Me Tomato Salad
From Cook's Country
When developing our It’s All Greek to Me Tomato Salad recipe, we discovered a few rules to follow when pairing tomatoes with different dressings and ingredients. Acidic tomatoes nicely complement rich ingredients like bacon or avocado, while sweet tomatoes tone down the sharpness of onions or peppery greens. Yellow and orange tomatoes are typically the sweetest tomatoes. Green tomatoes—not to be confused with unripe tomatoes—are usually the most acidic. To hasten ripening, store tomatoes in a sealed paper bag. Never refrigerate a tomato; the cold destroys valuable flavor components.
Serves 4
If you prefer, use the sweeter-tasting red bell pepper instead of the more traditional green pepper in this salad.
