What Makes This Recipe So Good

This sauce is fresh and vibrant, capturing the natural flavors of ripe tomatoes and herbs without any cooking. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for warm days when you want a light, refreshing alternative to traditional sauces.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Use the ripest tomatoes you can find for the best flavor.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add a pinch of salt slowly and taste as you go to balance the acidity.

Directions

Blend the tomatoes—seeds and all—in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour the pureed tomatoes into a container that has a lid. Next, add the chopped green bell pepper, onion, lime juice, garlic, sea salt, oregano, and rosemary to the tomatoes. Give everything a good stir to combine. Cover the container and pop it in the fridge for at least half an hour to let the flavors meld together.

Best Pairings For This Dish

This sauce pairs wonderfully with your favorite pasta, especially shapes that hold sauce well like penne or fusilli. It’s also great as a topping for fresh mozzarella or as a dip for crusty bread.

Storing Leftovers

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within 2-3 days to keep its fresh taste. Give it a good stir before serving again.
