Fresh Tomato - Herb Sauce

A fresh version of traditional spaghetti sauce. It requires no stove top cooking and is flavored with fresh herbs and feta cheese. Can be used as a topping for toasted bread, too!

Ingredients

2 cups fresh seeded tomatoes*
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Equal® Spoonful**
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup (2 oz.) crumbled feta cheese

* To seed tomatoes quickly and easily, cut tomato into quarters. Squeeze each piece gently in hand; seeds will come out.
** May substitute 1-1/2 packets Equal sweetener

Preparation

  • Combine all ingredients, except feta cheese. Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. (If making ahead, store, covered, in refrigerator until ready to use.)
  • Just before serving, stir in feta cheese. Toss with hot cooked pasta or use on toasted Italian bread for bruschetta.
