Ingredients

  • 5 cups seeded & diced roma tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 1/2 banana pepper seeded & minced
  • 1 small green bell pepper seeded & diced
  • 3 oz red wine vinegar
  • 2 oz water or tomato juice
  • 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning
  • 4 oz extra virgin olive oil
  • 2-3 leaves basil, chiffonade double if the leaves are small

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Toss well until everything's evenly combined.
  • Refrigerate before serving, until the mixture's chilled through and the flavors have married, about 1-2 hours.
  • Serve with a freshly sliced baguette, crostini, or crackers.

Notes

  • Don't throw away the extra juices! They make an amazing bread dip or meat marinade.
  • You could substitute an Italian seasoning blend if you don't have a packet of dressing mix.
  • For extra flavor, you could add a clove or two of crushed garlic.
