Tomato Basil Dressing

I love to put salsa on a salad because it doesn't add many calories, but it adds a lot of flavor. This is like putting an italian salsa on salad.

2 cups basil

1 tsp canola oil

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

1 tsp crushed garlic

1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes

2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Put the basil in a food processor with the oil, vinegar, and garlic. Puree. Add the sun dried tomatoes and puree again. Add the chopped tomatoes and pulse until it is completely blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.

1/4 cup is only about 13 calories.

I made turkey burgers and added this dressing to them. It was yummy! For 1 lb ground turkey add about 1 cups dressing, 1 egg, chopped mushrooms (optional), and 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Form into 5 burgers (or it would make a good meatloaf). Cook in a pan sprayed with cooking spray.
