Tomato Fruit Salad image

Because tomatoes are technically fruit, they work very well in this colorful and savory take on fruit salad. Try to find interesting grape varieties (like Concord, Himrod and Niagara), which have spicy skins and a more complex flavor than regular red and green seedless. Then go lightly on the vinegar and pepper - you want just enough to bring out the flavors of the fruits, but not enough to take over the bowl.
