Top 12 Ways To Give Condiments a Flavor-Boost
By Leslie Fink, MS, RD 8/3/2005 WeightWatchers.com:
1. Add wasabi powder or wasabi paste to low-fat mayonnaise for a spicy vegetable dip or sandwich spread.
2. Get creative with Dijon mustard by adding a touch of honey and dill. Bev Bennett, cookbook author and recipe developer, makes her own honey mustard to get just the right level of sweetness. She also throws in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
3. Mix together fat-free plain yogurt, shredded cucumber and garlic powder for a simple Greek-inspired vegetable dip, turkey burger topping or sauce for grilled chicken.
4. Add ketchup and mustard to bottled barbecue sauce and spread it over meatloaf before baking for excellent moisture and flavor. Bennett offers other barbecue sauce additions such as smoked paprika or minced roasted garlic cloves.
5. Combine sesame oil, soy sauce and minced scallions for an easy Asian dipping sauce for vegetables and steamed dumplings.
6. Create a creamy sauce for nachos, tacos, burritos and Tex-Mex wraps by adding fat-free sour cream to prepared salsa.
7. Stir fresh fruit such as minced pineapple into low-fat cottage cheese and serve with sliced apples for dipping.
8. Or go savory and mix salt-free garlic and herb seasoning (and fresh herbs, if desired) with low-fat cottage cheese and spread it into a pita filled with roasted vegetables.
9. Fold chocolate syrup into reduced-fat cream cheese and use as a fruit dip.
10. Top your favorite burger with a dollop of ketchup combined with plain, fat-free yogurt or nonfat sour cream.
11. Add some of the sauce (but not the actual peppers) from canned chipotle peppers to either guacamole or ketchup for a little smoky heat. Bennett suggests adding chipotle sauce (tastes like tomato sauce with a hint of chipotle chili flavor) to plain yogurt as a dressing for chicken salad.
12. Serve crab cakes with a sauce of low-fat mayonnaise spiked with horseradish.
