What could be better then a fresh tomato and basil. To all of you who want to peel a tomato, all one has to do is pour boiling water over them and let them sit for a very brief period, and the skin will come right off. 2 minutes is a bit excessive, to my way of thinking, and unnecessary. If you don't want to cook, you could just peel and cut the tomatoes, add the garlic and basil, with a bit of salt, pepper, oil and vinegar and pour that over the pasta. I know, one should never make suggestions about a change when it is so drastic, but try it, its good, especially on a hot night. Sprinkle parmesean cheese on top. Done.

The black bean salsa was wonderful! I didn't use either green pepper or black eyed peas, and substituted oil and vinegar, salt and pepper for the Italian salad dressing (because I didn't have any of these, and sweet vidalia onion instead of red onion, and it was definitely a keeper! The chicken took longer than the recipe said but I had huge chicken breasts, so of course it would take longer to grill. I also marinated it longer than the 10 minutes it stated, about 4 hours, it needed that to get the flavor imparted to the meat. Yum!
