TUNA STEAKS WITH GARLIC LOVERS' FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Tuna Steaks with Garlic Lovers' Fresh Tomato Sauce image

Summer on a plate - simple, fresh and absolutely delicious! I love uncooked tomato sauces in the summer, when the garden has an abundance of juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes. This one is for the garlic and lemon lovers, and it's terrific served cold the next day! (Prep time includes letting tomato sauce sit and blend flavors; cook time is approximate only for tuna steaks.)
