Instructions: Cook bacon until crisp in a small saute pan, add the onion and peppers. Toss and cook for 1 minute. Combine bacon, onions, and peppers with the peas and beans, basil, mint, oil, vinegar and seasonings. Mix well.

Using a sharp knife, core out the tomato and carve a hole big enough to hold a generous portion of the salad. Make a nest of spinach on a large plate, place the tomato in the center, and fill with the salad.

This recipe yields 2 servings.

NOTES : Joes note: I would use TWO large tomatoes rather than the ONE that the recipe calls for.
