Green Pepper and Tomato Salad

This summer I have been trying to increase my veggie intake by having salads for lunch, but baby lettuce and spinach start to get boring after a while. So I started scouring the web for different salad recipes to mix things up a bit. This one I found got rave reviews, is super easy to make, and tastes great! The only downside is that it is very low in calories so it's not very filling for a meal, though it works great as a side or a snack.

GREEN PEPPER AND TOMATO SALAD

Ingredients:
  • 3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, green pepper, celery and onion. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Stir into tomato mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, stirring several times. Serve with a slotted spoon.

Yields: 6 servings
