Egyptian Tomato Salad
This is one of my favorite Egyptian salads. Finely minced chili pepper is what makes it unique.
1½ pounds (6 or 7 medium) tomatoes, cut into wedges
4 to 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of 1 large lemon) to taste
1 green chili pepper, finely minced
3 tablespoons cilantro or parsley, very finely minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place the tomatoes in a bowl or on a platter. Combine the remaining ingredients and toss with the tomatoes. Serve at once or chill and serve. The salad will keep for 2 or 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
