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 was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred using ripe tomatoes instead.

I'm not a big fan of green tomatoes, but I thought I'd give this salad a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The tomatoes were still firm and had a nice crunch. The dressing was also very good.
