    Tomatoes (I prefer red cherry or early girl tomatoes)

    balsamic vinegar
    olive oil
    cracked black pepper
    sweet onions
    anaheim chili
    fresh basil leaves

    olive oil

    1. Slice tomatoes, julienne onions and the anaheim, tear basil leaves apart, and gently mix all ingredients together and let set at least 30 minutes.

    2. Barely warm tomatoes up in a skillet with the olive oil. Serve immediately.
