Tomato Marinara - Raw

"We are indeed much more than we eat, but what we eat can nevertheless help us to be much more than we are."  Adelle Davis

I believe that sometime back I mentioned an easy pasta sauce and said that I would share the recipe.  That day has arrived!

I love this sauce because it can be made in minutes in a blender, there are no veggies to chop if you use grape or cherry tomatoes, and it's delicious.

Ingredients:
  2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, or large tomato cut up
  1T pitted date, Medjool dates work well
  1 t dried oregano
  1/2 t dried rosemary
  1/3 cup olive oil
  1/2 t salt

Distructions:
  Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.  You can then serve this sauce tossed with veggies in a cold salad or warmed over pasta and other tasty ingredients.  Store this sauce in a jar in the fridge and it will keep for 3 or 4 days.

OK.  So the picture can't begin to describe the wonderful flavors in store for you with this sauce.  But it was fun to take the picture and right in the middle of the photo shoot as I was artfully arranging the parsley sprigs on the plate (#*!*#!) my husband walked in.  The was nothing to do but look up at him with a serious expression and say, "I'm starting a new diet today."   I think he really loves the adventure of living with me!
