Marinated Heirloom Tomato Salad

It's that time of year where the supply of delicious and cheap produce is slowly coming to an end. There certainly will be fall and winter produce available, but I always miss the tomatoes, berries, etc. I happened across some great looking heirloom tomatoes at the store and could not resist making a recipe highlighting their great flavor. This recipe uses our Pastamore Spicy Tomato Dipping Oil to boost the flavor of these great, fresh ingredients.

Ingredients:
1 lb - heirloom tomatoes
1 large - green bell pepper
1 cup - fresh green beans
2 Tbsp - Pastamore Spicy Tomato Dipping Oil
To taste - salt and black pepper

Directions:
1. Rinse all vegetables. Cut the green pepper in half from top to bottom. Discard the stem, seeds, and white vein from the inside of the pepper. Cut 1/2" thick slices from top to bottom. Cut the slices into 1" long strips on a bias. Add to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2. Cut the tomatoes in half. Remove the core, and cut into 1/2" thick slices from top to bottom. Lay the slices flat, and then cut into 1/2" x 1/2" pieces. Add to the mixing bowl.

3. Remove the stems from the green beans, and chop into 1/4" long pieces. Add to the mixing bowl along with the 2 Tbsp of Pastamore Spicy Tomato Dipping Oil. Mix well and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

4. Serve immediately or allow to chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
