I made this for a wedding shower I hosted and people LOVED it. I don't even like tomatoes but found myself going back for seconds and thirds. Don't skip the step of removing the seeds; it takes a little extra time, but is definitely worth it. Can't wait to make it again...

A very tasty topping. I used grape tomatoes which seemed a bit too acidic, so added 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to compensate. Used a good green olive oil. Works beautifully with Recipe #182021
