List of Ingredients




� 2 medium tomatoes or 4 Roma tomatoes
� 1 medium green sweet pepper
� 1 small zucchini or yellow summer squash, thinly sliced (1-1/4 cups)
� 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
� 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley
� 2 tablespoons olive oil
� 2 tablespoons balsamic or wine vinegar
� 2 tablespoons water
� 1 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme or basil or 1 teaspoon dried thyme or basil, crushed
� 1 clove garlic, minced
� 2 - 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)


Recipe



1. Cut tomatoes into wedges. Cut sweet pepper into small squares. Combine tomatoes, sweet pepper, zucchini, onion, and parsley; set aside.


2. For dressing, in a screw-top jar, combine oil, vinegar, water, thyme, and garlic. Cover; shake well. Pour over vegetable mixture. Toss lightly to coat.


3. Let mixture stand at room temperature 30 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Or, refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours, stirring once or twice. Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes before serving.) Stir in pine nuts, if desired. Serve with a slotted spoon. Makes 6 to 8 side-dish servings.
