Number of Servings

Ingredients
- 1 cup canned low-sodium plum tomatoes
- 1⁄4 cup low-sodium tomato puree
- 1 cup chopped watermelon (seedless)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chopped garlic
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon orange zest

Notes
How to Make Orange Zest:
- Using a grater or microplane, shave off the peel of an orange to make 1⁄2 teaspoon of shavings.
- The shavings are your zest, which add strong, wonderfully citrus flavor to foods.
- Use only the colored part of the peel, not the bitter white pith beneath.
