Have a tomato sauce tasting

We’ve all heard of wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting, but can you do the same with tomato sauce? You bet. Whether you host a saucy bash or you simply line up your family for a blind taste test, there’s fun to be had by sampling a selection of all-natural, store-bought tomato sauces.

This weekend, challenge yourself to buy a couple jars of tomato sauce and organize an impromptu tasting. Then, when you’ve found your favorite one, come up with creative applications for this lycopene-rich treat. Think pizza sauce, as a spread for a veggie pita sandwich, primavera pasta sauce, eggplant parmesan, etc.
