What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, dill, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

This is delicious! I added Veggies : zucchini,summer squash,chopped broccoli, and instead of red onion I used a small sweet chopped onion.. blanched the vegetables and added to this dish. I served with saute'd chicken. DELISH!!

This is wonderful. I've made 3 batches since the show aired and have shared it with family. Everyone loved it, even a young person not too found of tomatoes.
