Subs for Salmonella Tainted Tomatoes

Staying away from tomatoes for now? I don't blame you. If you are like me, you are missing the juicy, sweet treat that I eat by the pound during the summer. If you can't get locally grown tomatoes, here are a few alternatives to consider until the ban is lifted:

• Tomatillos

• Roasted Red Peppers (fresh or jarred)

• Canned tomato products

• Sun dried tomatoes

• Thinly sliced beets/canned beets

Be sure to check the FDA Website regularly to check in on the status of your tomatoes:
