Fresh Tomato, Ginger & Jalapeno Sauce

Fresh Tomato, Ginger & Jalapeno Sauce

FRESH TOMATO, GINGER & JALAPENO SAUCE

 

Another recipe for all of our Extremely Green Detoxers!

 

Ingredients

 

1 pint cherry tomatoes or 4 plum tomatoes, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic

1 knob ginger (1 inch)

¼ jalapeno, seeded

1 lime, zest & juice

Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Method

 

Blend all ingredients.

 

This seemingly delicate sauce packs a punch. It’s best with light, mild salad greens like romaine hearts, Bibb lettuce, green leaf, butter lettuce, etc.… with radish, cucumbers, daikon or jicama. Add mint and/or cilantro and the salad becomes Southeast Asian in flavor.

 

This sauce is perfect for daikon rolls; mandolin thin sheets of daikon, julienne cucumber, carrots, yellow or orange bell pepper, add a sprig of cilantro and mint. Roll and serve with sauce on the side.

 

Enjoy!
