Peppers Stuffed with Cherry Tomatoes and Basil

When I think of stuffed peppers, I typically think of things a little more hearty with grains, but I decided to follow this recipe exactly. Think of it as a salad in a bell pepper. The notes suggest that they're best served warm or room temperature, but not hot. I certainly liked them more the next day straight from the refrigerator than the day of. I cut the recipe in half, but the original is included below.
