ERFA Sauces, Condiments, & Dressings

Chipotle Mango Guacamole

A twist on traditional guacamole.

Guacamole

Who doesn't love a good guacamole?  Loaded with healthy fat, vitamins and mineral, guacamole is the perfect compliment to a veggie tray, sunflower seed crackers, or even atop a fried egg for breakfast.  Use your imagination to find even more uses for this real food staple.

Avocado Dijon Dressing

If you've conducted your own fridge purge, you've no doubt been alerted to the fact that many of our favourite dressings, condiments and even marinades contain a substantial amount of sugar and polyunsaturated oils - usually disguised under names such as high fructose corn syrup, glucose-fructose, molasses, modified corn starch, xanthan gum, soybean oil and canola oil. 

So why not make your own primal-friendly versions of these staples? Not only will you have tasty alternatives for your favourite salads, meats and veggies - you will also have peace of mind in knowing that they are healthy options for you and your family. It doesn't get much better than that!

ERFA Ketchup

If ketchup is one of your favourite condiments but you're having trouble eating it now that you know it is full of high fructose corn syrup and other added ingredients, then it's your lucky day.

The spices are really what make this recipe delicious. Feel free to experiment with your own favourite combinations -- like curry and garlic. 

Pack full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, here is no need to feel guilty about your love for ketchup any longer.

Caesar Salad Dressing

Caesar salad is considered by many to be an all-time favourite. In fact, whenever it was a menu option while dining out as kids, my brother would always order two! Nothing keeps the wait staff on their toes quite like that request. Minus the croutons, this classic salad is the perfect go-to starter.

Shaner Dip

This to-die-for curry dip recipe was graciously provided by Shane McGill. Featured previously as one of Living Primal's success stories, Shane is the son of Wayne McGill who is famous for submitting our now favourite bread recipe, Wayner bread.

This curry dip goes well with vegetables, crackers, or virtually any real food. We were dipping walnuts and pecans into it to rave reviews!

ERFA Mayonnaise

Adapted from the Well Fed cookbook, this lemony, light, and silky mayo makes just about everything taste better. Add to coleslaws, grilled meat, salad dressings, or tuna for a creamy texture your taste buds will enjoy.

Red Curry Coconut Dip

What's not to love about a recipe with only two ingredients? Try this healthy and colourful dip in place of the traditional soybean oil-laden dressings in the middle of your next veggie tray.

ERFA Salsa

Just like other condiments, making your own salsa allows you to control what goes in and bypass the additives, inflammatory oils, and sugar that come with most store bought varieties.

Green Tomatoe Relish

If you have had to pick a bunch of green tomatoes to save them from the recent frost, here is something to do with them.

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

What is a tomatillo, you ask? Known as "tomate verde" (green tomato), tomatillos are considered a staple in Mexican cooking. Tomatillo is a member of the nightshade family, related to tomatoes but has a distinctive tart flavour. It now grows everywhere in the Western Hemisphere.

The fruit of the tomatillo is green and about the size of a large cherry tomato. The inside is white and meatier than a tomato. They grow to maturity inside of a husk. They can range in size from about an inch in diameter to the size of apricots. They are covered by a papery husk which may range from the pale green colour of the fruit itself to a light grocery-bag brown. The husks are inedible and should be removed before use.

Baba Ghanoush

If you have never tried eggplant before there is no better way to be introduced to it than through the creamy, hummus-like dip called baba ghanoush.

ERFA Barbecue Sauce

When eating real food, many of your standard condiments are no longer suitable. We encourage folks to complete the big fridge purge of condiments sooner than later, but many are reluctant because  they don't know what to replace them with.

Check out our ketchup, mayonnaise and dressing recipes, and add to your repertoire another favourite ... barbecue sauce.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

If you've conducted your own fridge purge, you've no doubt been alerted to the fact that many of our favourite dressings, condiments and even marinades contain a substantial amount of sugar and polyunsaturated oils - usually disguised under names such as high fructose corn syrup, glucose-fructose, molasses, modified corn starch, xanthan gum, soybean oil and canola oil. 

So why not make your own versions of these staples? Not only will you have tasty alternatives for your favourite salads, meats and veggies - you will also have peace of mind in knowing that they are healthy options for you and your family. It doesn't get much better than that!

Cabbage & Fennel Coleslaw

This coleslaw makes a nice side dish to a wide variety of meals, especially pork chops.  Using a combination of cabbage and fennel adds some extra flavour compared to a standard coleslaw.  Cabbage is a great source of vitamin K, which is fat soluble, so using the avocado dijon dressing helps ensure that it will get absorbed.
