This is a delicious chunky raw marinara sauce sweetened, just a touch, by dates and sun-dried tomatoes. Those same two ingredients also help keep the sauce thick instead of thin like a soup.
Enjoy it over spiralized zucchini/jicama/daikon radish/cucumber or even on a baked potato. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a potato peeler to make long noodle-like strands.
Raw Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 cups Campari tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup 'dry' sun-dried tomatoes
- 3 Medjool dates, pitted
- 2 teaspoons Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons almond milk (optional)
- ground pepper and cayenne to taste
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a high powered blender, like the Blendtec and blend until smooth. If you don't have a high powered blender chop the dates and sun-dried tomatoes into thin slices and the tomatoes into chunks.
- Feel free to add in fresh herbs (basil, parsley, rosemary) if you have them available - otherwise, this is good to go as is!

And as yet another option, serve over a bed of roasted cauliflower and romaine for a light but satisfying lunch. Sprinkle with pine nuts or hemp seeds for an extra crunch!
Enjoy! xoxo
