Fresh Tomato Sauce
(Gluten-free)
Ingredients
1 (14-1/2-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, or 1-1/2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes, seeds and skin removed
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Directions
If using fresh tomatoes, chop to desired size. If using canned tomatoes, drain juice. (Petite-cut diced tomatoes are the ideal size for making bruschetta.)
Mix all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use, or use immediately. To make a dipping sauce, put it in a blender and blend on high for about 10 seconds.
