Sauces and dressings are often a problem for the heart by the large amount of butter, cream, oil, eggs or cheese they require. To reduce fat dressings, a good idea is to use these ingredients.

You can add them to salads, vegetables, fish, lean meats and pastas. One serving of sauce or dressing equals one tablespoon.

Contents

  • Tomato sauce and parsley
  • Curry Chutney
  • Cheese sauce
  • Apple dressing
  • Lemon Garnished with mint
  • Tofu Mayonnaise

Tomato sauce and parsley

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 6 large tomatoes, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup of tomato juice
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the onion and garlic 4-5 minutes, or until onion is tender.
  2. Pour tomatoes and juice and simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of parsley and cook over low heat one hour, or until the sauce thickens and reduces. When you go to serve, add the remaining parsley, and season with pepper.

Curry Chutney

Makes two cups:

  • 6 zucchinis, peeled and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons of polyunsaturated oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon of hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of chutney or condiments.

  2. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Fry the curry and onion for 4-5 minutes, or until onion is tender.
  3. In a food processor or blender, grind the zucchini, onion mixture, hot sauce, and chutney. Pour into a saucepan and simmer until heated through.

  • 1 cup of skim milk
  • Nutmeg

    I love dressing, mayonnaise and that kind of stuff but they are really bad for the health because they contain many harmful substances and fat, so this article is really helpful for me! Thanks for the recipes, I?m going to try them out just now for my salad in dinner thanks again!

    Oh my goodness, what a great article!!! I absolutely love great sauces, and they really do make dishes great! I think any good cook knows just how important sauces are, because they change the same dish into millions of different potentials. Finger lickin’ goodness (all except maybe the mayo recipe…I’m not a big fan…)
