Italian Salsa

Submitted by Melba Sundevil

"Ok, So this isn't really salsa, but it's what my friend calls it. You should cook it and then refrigerate it so the flavors encorporate. This is served warm, with baguette slices. I typically make this the day before a party and put it in the little crock pot just to keep warm. You can also toss it with pasta for a really yummy dinner."
