Certified organic chef Madea Allen was back for the second installment of Chef’s Corner at the Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger pantry. Using items from the pantry, Madea made a delicious and healthy salad of marinated tomatoes. This is an ideal relish to serve alongside lean protein like chicken or fish, or you can enjoy the salad on it’s own as a super nutritious snack!
