Vegetable Sauce

Vegetable Sauce

Everyday

Vegetable sauce is a plant-based condiment typically made by blending or simmering fresh or cooked vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, or leafy greens. While nutritional values vary, most versions provide a low-calorie, vitamin-rich alternative to cream-based sauces, though commercial varieties may contain added sodium. This versatile sauce adapts to multiple cuisines, serving as a nutrient-dense topping for pasta, grains, or proteins, and can be tailored to vegan, gluten-free, or low-fat dietary needs.
