NOTE: OSU Extension Master Food Preservers: What we teach people who can their own salsa, or use a store bought bottle, is to cut up put in some of the same items like tomatoes that are in it.

Enjoy a fresh tomato out of hand, just as you would an apple. It's a low calorie, nutritious snack.

Diced tomatoes add color and taste to guacamole dip.

Fresh Tomato Salsa is easy with diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers and cilantro, mixed together with cumin and fresh lime juice. It's a cholesterol free dip for family and friends with low sodium and few calories.

Add chopped fresh tomatoes to prepared spaghetti sauce, canned soups, chili, stews or casseroles for a touch of homemade goodness and nutritional value.

Marinate fresh tomato slices and red onion rings in an Italian salad dressing and serve as a refreshing alternative to tossed green salad or fruit salad.

Stuff whole tomato cups with a favorite meat or seafood salad for an attractive and delicious luncheon entree.

Chopped tomatoes, added to any stir-fry combination during the last minute of cooking, lend color and flavor.

Dice fresh tomatoes and toss with prepared 3-bean salad mixture and serve over lettuce leaf.
