Recipe Notes

The key to this being a really delicious bite is to make sure the tomatoes are home grown, really ripe and that they have never been refrigerated. In addition, keep it simple. The Italians like few ingredients in their dishes so the main attraction shines vibrantly, in this case, the tomato. Skip the onion, balsamic vinegar and added garlic that many recipes have. © Galley Chef All Rights Reserved
