Tres Facile Bell Pepper and Tomato Salad

Cookgirl's Note:

Keep this recipe in mind when a variety of colored bell peppers are available on the market. I personally would use a combination of colors: red, orange, purple, etc. This is a slightly altered recipe from the Alsace region in France from Bon Appetit March 2006.

What a great find this was. I bought tomatoes and peppers from a local farm gate and wanted a super simple recipe that featured them. The tomatoes weren't grape, but were small super sweet regular ones and I used red bell peppers. I'm amazed at how much the tiny amount of cummin (one of our favourite spices) came through.
