I am in love with ketchup. I buy it in bulk. In addition to letting my occasional fries swim freely in this delicacy, I like to keep it and a few other basics on hand in the refrigerator that can be mixed up at the last minute into salad dressings or sauces.
First, I like to make an easy barbeque/Heinz 57 type sauce that I use as a dipping sauce for chicken, as a base for BBQ chicken pizza and as a condiment for broiled steaks. For each serving, combine 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Its tangy and delicious!
Next, I love cocktail sauce on shrimp, scallops and even my scrambled eggs. Making it at home is much less expensive and is at its freshest when your ready to enjoy. Mix 2 tablespoons ketchup with a teaspoon each of sweet pickle relish, prepared horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
One more ingredient to cocktail sauce and you have a great salad dressing with a kick…1000 Island. Mix your prepared cocktail sauce with 2 tablespoons of a mayo substitute like Smart Beat nonfat mayo. Not only is it nonfat but it only adds 10 calories per tablespoon. I think I will have a wedge salad for lunch!
