Health Tip of the Week
Got Tomatoes?
The tomato is late summers’ most cherished and delicious produce pick, not to mention a nutritious and versatile choice as well. One medium tomato contains only 25 calories and provides a good source of both vitamin C and vitamin A, nutrients important for skin health and immune health.
Chunk Fresh Tomato Salsa - Serves 6
1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 small bunch fresh parsley, stems removed
2 large tomatoes
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt (optional)
black pepper, ground (optional)
In a food processor, combine the onion, bell pepper, and parsley leaves and process for 10 seconds, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Process until the mixture is finely chopped.
Cut the tomatoes crosswise in half and squeeze out most of the juice and seeds. Chop the tomatoes coarsely, then add to the vegetables in the processor. Pulse several times to make a coarse puree that contains little bits of onion and tomato. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and stir in the vinegar and lemon juice.
In a small skillet, toast the cumin over low heat, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the cumin starts to smoke. Stir into the salsa and season with salt and black pepper, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (Can be kept in the refrigerator up to 1 week.)
