Food & Cooking Recipes Appetizers Zesty Tomato Dipping Sauce Close Credit: Lennart Weibull Total Time: 10 mins Yield: 1 cup This four-ingredient condiment transforms a can of tomato sauce into a zippy, complex dipping sauce with a little help from minced garlic and lemon juice. Serve it with something rich and creamy, like a platter of Spinach-and-Feta Patties or these crispy Salmon-and-Mashed-Potato Croquettes. Directions Heat oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium. When it shimmers, add garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomato sauce and 2 tablespoons water; simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm. This sauce can also be made and refrigerated in an airtight container up to five days ahead. When ready to serve, gently reheat until warm.
