Made this for dinner in the week and forgot to take a photo! BUT I had some sauce left over and it made the most amazing Tuna Crunch! Here is my tuna crunch wrap - super refreshing on a hot Saturday lunchtime! Thanks again Molly - this is a sauce that can be used on everything this summer!!

Forgot to take a photo but this was pretty yum. I used fresh peppers (one orange one red) fried them, added a tin of tomatoes then blended. Had a packet of fajita spice mix but accidentally added too much but the yoghurt balanced it out. This was a winner with my husband but toddler said yuck to the sauce so he had plain pasta!
