Author Notes: Delicious!! This is a no cook sauce. I have been making this for years, recipe came from a dear friend of mine. We make this every summer, whenever the tomatoes are at their best. You can vary this recipe with more or less of every ingredient, I always add more garlic! I love using Heirloom tomatoes because of the flavors and the beautiful colors. It's very hard to resist dipping bread in it before dinner time. I am sure this will be one of your favorites if you try it. - Krissy0
