Cut away and discard tomato cores. Cut tomatoes into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 2½ cups.
Step 2
Put tomatoes in bowl and add remaining ingredients. Stir to blend and serve.

Tip

I have been unable to locate unsalted capers. One tablespoon is a relatively modest amount in a dish that has six or more servings, but those on a strictly salt-free diet may wish to omit this ingredient.
