We love any food that combines fresh tomatoes and cheese – pizza, grilled cheese with tomato, pasta – these are just a few of our favorites! To get a little more creative, we made a Greek tomato dip with feta for calcium, extra-virgin olive oil for good fats, and added some green bell peppers for more vitamin A. The salty feta cheese and the sweet, fresh tomatoes (a September Foods of the Month) are a winning combination in our books. Serve this dip with whole grain pita chips or whole grain baguette slices (whole grains are the other September Foods of the Month!).
