Ever wonder what to do with those few ounces of Ugly Sauce you’ve got left in the jar, hopelessly sitting in the fridge? Make a tomato basil vinaigrette, of course!

Just add some red wine vinegar, black pepper, EVOO, salt and swoosh! No whisk required! Pour over and mix with your favorite greens and veggies, add some fresh basil if you have it, and enjoy!

SERVES 4-6

INGREDIENTS

VINAIGRETTE:

1 cup Ugly Tomato Sauce
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1-2 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
fresh ground pepper

FOR A SIMPLE SALAD:

5 oz mesclun greens
1 pt grape/cherry tomatoes
1 cucumber
2-3 plum tomatoes
1/2 red onion
2-3 fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)

PREPARATION

Make the vinaigrette by adding the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper right in the bottle with the leftover sauce. Close the cap and shake vigorously until emulsified (about 10 seconds). Taste for seasoning.

In a large bowl, add your salad ingredients: mesclun, chopped tomatoes, onion and cucumber. Then pour in about 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette and toss until well coated.

To serve, top with freshly chopped basil and an extra drizzle of the vinaigrette. Enjoy!

Other sauces you can try this with include: Spicy Calabrian, Rustic Marinara and Vegan Vodka.
