I got this recipe e-mailed to me from www.lhj.com and thought I would share,
NO-COOK TOMATO SAUCE
It's the ultimate all-purpose summertime tomato sauce-great to toss with pasta or as a topper for grilled chicken breasts, fish steaks or slices of toasted crusty bread. Instead of cooking to intensify flavor, the chopped tomatoes marinate with plenty of fresh herbs, garlic and a touch of vinegar.
Total prep time: 15 minutes plus standing
Degree of difficulty: easy
Low-calorie
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped
Whisk all ingredients except tomatoes in a medium bowl. Stir in tomatoes; let stand 30 minutes. Makes 4 1/4 cups.
