Just to be clear, I don’t even like tomatoes. They taste fine, but I hate to chop them, I hate the clean up and it doesn’t seem worth the hassle for something that tastes “fine”. But this recipe may be a game changer.

Obviously it’s quick and easy and all that, but it tastes good to boot – cold or hot. Eat it for dinner. Eat it as a side salad. Take it on a picnic or a potluck. Everyone will thank you.
