GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD



Green Pepper and Tomato Salad image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch dice
3 vine-ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 small onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 a palm full

Steps:

  • Combine peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley in a bowl with your fingertips. Squeeze the juice of the lemon with the lemon half sitting upright. This will help prevent the seeds from falling into the bowl. The lemon juice will spill down over the sides of the lemon and the seeds will remain with the fruit. Squeeze the juice evenly over the salad. If the lemon is under-ripe, microwave it for 10 seconds before you cut into it. Next, sprinkle a tablespoon of vinegar over the salad -- just eyeball it. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, add the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss again. Taste to adjust seasonings and serve.

GREEN TOMATO SALAD



Green Tomato Salad image

Green tomatoes are either nearly impossible to find or in such abundance that farmers at the greenmarket almost give them away. This recipe was inspired by Rachael Ray, who gets green tomatoes from a wholesaler when they're scarce or has a favorite farmer at the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan set some aside during the late spring and early summer when they're abundant. You can adjust the amount of peppers to control the heat. And red tomatoes work fine if you can't find green ones.

This salad is inspired by one that Los Angeles-based chef Mark Peel serves at his wonderful restaurant, Campanile. Green tomatoes go well with Russian dressing. My version combines mayonnaise with yogurt, and if I don't make the mayonnaise myself, I always use Hellmann's (called Best in Western states) because it isn't sweet.
