• This tomato sauce is not cooked but it is very easy and tasty and it will thrill you!
• It is a light and cool summer dish. You can add grilled eggplant, some feta cheese and enjoy it as a cold pasta salad
• In wintertime, you can prefer warm pasta and you can make it more ‘spicy’ by adding black olives and more bukovo

Nutrition tips
