Fresh Herb-and-Tomato Salsa with Smoked Cheese

By [e-mail]

The Good News Inspired by an Italian Caprese salad, this tomato salsa is full of calcium-rich cheese. It's so chunky it could be eaten on its own with a fork, but it's also wonderful with shredded chicken.

Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed yellow and red grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
• 1/2 cup finely diced smoked Gouda, smoked cheddar or smoked Monterey Jack cheese (2 1/2 ounces)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons shredded basil
• 2 tablespoons snipped chives
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the cheese, cilantro, basil and chives. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
