Simple Summer Salad

It's that time of year when gardens are producing tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers at a prolific rate.  Here's a very simple chilled salad that cools your palette and uses summers very best.

1 cup ripe large heirloom tomato or vining tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 cup cucumber, coarsely chopped
about 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
a dash or two extra virgin olive oil (optional)

1 pinch grey sea salt (optional)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Chop your veggies and place in a large bowl.  Sprinkle the wine vinegar over the veggies until they are nicely coated.  Add a couple of dashes of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of sea salt (optional) and black pepper.  Combine thoroughly.  Chill and enjoy.
