6 Smart Condiments
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: March 28, 2009
Improve the health profile of your dishes by reducing salt while adding flavor.
Look to your condiments for help, say the authors of "The Flexitarian Diet" (McGraw-Hill, $24.95) and "The New American Plate Cookbook" (University of California Press, $25.95).
Here are six heart-smart suggestions:
1. Use a variety of mustards.
2. Try olive oil-based mayo. New versions of mayonnaise are lower in fat.
3. Splash on some vinegar. Balsamic, red wine, fig, pear or apple cider vinegars will add zing to salads and sides.
4. Check the label on sauces. Low-sodium barbecue sauce.
5. Pour on some low-sodium teriyaki or soy sauce.
6. Turn to low-fat Italian or vinaigrette salad dressings.
