Easy Tomato Basil Pesto Salsa Recipes

Chef Note: This is a great sauce for pasta salad because it's delicious at room temperature. You could also slather it on bruschetta, grilled fish or chicken. Or make a brunch dish by topping a thick slice of toast with proscuitto, a poached egg and a little of this summer pesto. In summer, when you can get your hands on vine-ripe tomatoes, you don't even need to peel them. To intensify the flavor, you can add a few oven-dried tomatoes. The pesto keeps several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

Though pesto means "pounded" in Italian, the rush of modern life has taken the recipe out of the mortar and into the blender (or food processor) for most of us. This version, adapted from a Ligurian woman, Lidia Caveri, gently encourages (but does not require) a return to the mortar. The constant rap of the pestle will jostle the nuts, basil and garlic into an emulsified base. Add the oil and cheese to get an impossibly thick, creamy sauce that clings to pasta unlike any machine-made counterpart could. Though you might think otherwise, the pesto will come together before the pasta water has a chance to boil. And as a bonus, there'll be no blender to wash up afterward.

Simple salsa without the dreaded weed, Cilantro. Raw onions are a migraine trigger for me so I "sweat" the onions to convert to a product I can enjoy (what makes you cry gives me a heck of a headache). I've also roasted the tomatoes with the peppers and garlic for a different flavor. The addition of ripe mango can make a very refreshing version of this recipe. I have also pureed the peels and added them in for the extra nutritional kick.
