Ingredients
- 2 pounds medium-sized tomatoes cut in half and then quartered (about 6 cups)
- 2 cups fresh Italian flat leaf parsley leaves roughly chopped
- ¾ cup sliced red onion
- ½ cup capers drained
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- ¼ cup good quality extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced (about ¼ cup)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, gently toss the tomatoes, parsley, red onion, capers and garlic. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the tomato mixture and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
