This is a fresh and quick antipasto I learned to make in Calabria. Very few ingredients create the landscape of Italy, shades of green, red, and white. You can make this simple but super savory salad in advance. It can also be used as a topping for Bruschetta or Crostini. Serve with a glass of Podere Albiano Tribolo Orcia 100% Sangiovese.
