Fresh Tomato Sauce (Low Sodium)
5 fresh, ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tbsps. olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsps. balsamic vinegar
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 tsp. unsalted chili powder
freshly ground black pepper
A good fresh tomato sauce has dozens of uses: serve it over warm
pasta for a great summer supper; spoon it over chicken or fish as
they come off the charcoal grill or saute pan. Preparation is simple
enough -- get the summer's finest ripe tomates and cut them up with
everything else. The secret is to let it all stand for a half hour or so
before serving.
Serves 6
14 mgs. of sodium per serving
Directions: Combine the diced tomatoes, basil and garlic in a bowl
and stir to distribute evenly; add the olive oil, lemon juice and
vinegar and stir to blend. Sprinkle with the chili powder and a
generous grinding of black pepper, stir again to blend and allow to
stand for at least half an hour before serving.
