GREEN TOMATO SALAD



Green Tomato Salad image

Green tomatoes are either nearly impossible to find or in such abundance that farmers at the greenmarket almost give them away. This recipe was inspired by Rachael Ray, who gets green tomatoes from a wholesaler when they're scarce or has a favorite farmer at the Union Square Greenmarket in Manhattan set some aside during the late spring and early summer when they're abundant. You can adjust the amount of peppers to control the heat. And red tomatoes work fine if you can't find green ones.

You may use any combination of tomatoes to make this salad; cut cherry tomatoes in half. Snip basil with sharp kitchen scissors rather than cutting it with a knife to prevent bruising.
