This recipe is from Epicurious.com. If you forget the garlic, like I did, it will still be delicious. It makes quite a lot and works as a cold pasta salad quite well also. I used 4 tomatoes, 2 yellow and 2 purplish. We all had seconds. Cold leftovers the next few days were also fantastic and I’ve modified the recipe to include the lemon juice I added. It definitely enhanced the dish.
