Sun-Dried Tomato Salsa

Forget your standard tomato salsa. This one plays in a completely different league.

Sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, garlic, and fresh basil get chopped and tossed with olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar. That’s it. Fifteen minutes, no cooking, and you’ve got a bold, briny, intensely flavored condiment that pairs brilliantly with grilled fish, shrimp, or seared scallops.

It also works beautifully spooned over bruschetta or stirred into warm pasta as a quick sauce.

Variations

• Add a tablespoon of capers for extra brininess.
• Toss in diced roasted red peppers for color and sweetness.
• Swap basil for fresh oregano if you want a more earthy, rustic flavor.
