45 minutes

Number of Servings:

Ingredients

1 cup canned low-sodium plum tomatoes
¹⁄₄ cup low-sodium tomato puree
1 cup chopped watermelon (seedless)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon chopped garlic
¹⁄₄ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon orange zest
1 tablespoon basil, chiffonade (cut into thin strips)

Notes

To Make Zest

Using a grater or microplane, shave off the peel of an orange to make ¹⁄₂ teaspoon of shavings. The shavings are your zest, which add strong, wonderfully citrus flavor to foods. Use only the colored part of the peel, not the bitter white pith beneath.
