This is summer in a bowl. I love to shop the farmers market for ugly heirloom tomatoes that are packed with flavor for this salad. Add fresh mozzarella and this becomes an entree salad.
2 red, yellow or orange bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup basil leaves, torn
