This is NOT my recipe. In fact, I've searched the depths of my mind to recall the original recipe as best I can.
There used to be a food blogger out there in the Medical Medium community who made fantastic recipes. Her Surfrider Sauce was my very favorite. Her name was Ashley Foster; Her site was heyashfoster.com but at the time of this posting, was no longer a working domain.
Let me tell you why I love this sauce so much. You can put it on everything: steamed veggies, baked/steamed potatoes, fries, and summer rolls. You can use it as a marinade or salad dressing, or eat it with a spoon like a gazpacho.
I made her sauce SO MUCH that I had the recipe memorized. Well....I had it memorized a year ago. This is my best guess at the ingredients of my beloved Surfrider Sauce. And Heyashfoster, if you're still out there, I was a huge fan and this is a tribute to your contribution to the healing community!

1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
