"This is delicious, easy and light. Perfect for a summer meal in the backyard or on the deck. I started making this when I had an overabundance of heirloom tomatoes growing in the garden and boy are people impressed with the burst of flavors in this dish. The prep time listed doesn't include the tomato marinating time."
