    This looks refreshing and delicious Wardeh, How did the family like it? warm hugs from Vermont

    We really liked it! It is alot like French dressing, although I didn’t want to call it that because it might not be exactly that for everyone!

    I wondered if it tasted like French dressing, it sounds a lot like my recipe:

    1 T grated onion
    1 t salt
    2 T agave
    2 T vinegar
    2 T tomato paste
    2 T lemon juice
    1 t paprika
    1 tsp black pepper
    1/2 cup olive oil

    I used to use white sugar in it but have replaced that with agave.

    Now that looks very good! I would like to add grated onioin next time. We thought it tasted very much like French dressing, but I don’t claim to be gourmet enough to know for sure!

    Hello I came across your blog while i was looking for allergies to fit my newly diagnosed food allergies… I see that this recipe calls for tomato paste… and you mentioned that you do have a family member who can not have garlic. I am having a hard time finding sauces without garlic I have been eating everything dry. Is there a recipe for tomato paste and sauce that would be fairly easy for a non cook like me?

    Hi, Jess. If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, their diced tomatoes and tomato paste are not seasoned in any way. If you use those, you can season them up how you like them in any particular dish. I know for sure that the tomato sauce at TJs has garlic, but you could also check their plum tomatoes or other tomato products. It is possible that the Muir Glen brand of tomatoes (health food store or health food section) are similarly made, but check the ingredient lists.

    If you want to make your own, sauce comes from mashed or blended tomatoes (with or without the peel, with or without seeds, your preference) and cooked down to 1/2. Paste would be cooked down even further until it is super thick. This can be frozen or canned. You should refer to specific canning instructions (such as the Ball Blue Book of Food Preservation) to make sure your preservation methods are safe for long-term storage.

    Please let me know if you need more info.
