Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds assorted heirloom tomatoes (3 to 4), cored and chopped
  2. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  3. 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

I thought this was just delightful. My husband called it an antipasto pasta salad, and that seems like a pretty accurate description. I could totally see this being served in a big bowl outside at a summer barbecue. Very tasty and great as a lighter pasta dish. Would recommend.
