Making Homemade Dips, Dressings and Sauces
One of the biggest shifts we’ve seen since really focusing on a Mediterranean diet is how much we enjoy making a lot of things at home. Specifically things that we would normally purchase already made from the store.
One of the biggest examples of that is homemade dips, dressings and sauces. It’s so easy and convenient to pick them up at the store but often times they are loaded with excess preservatives, additives, thickeners and sugars.
These are a collection of some of our favorite homemade versions that can easily be made at home.
Hummus
Hummus is a staple in the Mediterranean but did you know a lot of store bought versions don’t even contain olive oil?

Brynn I’m a big fan of all your recipes and have been using several this December alone. As a dietitian I wanted your opinion on a product I recently bought. The product helps balance out our hormones to help promote weight less and well being. I personally found a lot of success with it but I want a more professional opinion from you. The product is from https://bit.ly/37XTrIE
My favorite so far was the avocado sauce btw 🙂
