• Cook's Tip
• No-salt-added diced tomatoes may be a little more difficult to find than no-salt-added whole tomatoes. If so, purchase the whole ones and pour them into a small bowl. Using kitchen shears, snip the tomatoes into bite-size pieces, then use them, and any collected liquid, as you would diced tomatoes. Alternatively, wait until the whole tomatoes are softened from cooking, then break them into small pieces with the stirring spoon.
