Zesty Tomato Dipping Sauce

Heat oil in a small saucepan or skillet over medium. When it shimmers, add garlic and cook until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes.

Add tomato sauce and 2 tablespoons water; simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm. This sauce can also be made and refrigerated in an airtight container up to five days ahead. When ready to serve, gently reheat until warm.
