Dressings and Sauces

Vegan cheese is super tasty and extremely versatile! The picture just shows one serving suggestion using fresh cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes and basil. This basic recipe for one serving can easily be made into 3 variations. Solid style for a cheese ball etc. Cream Cheese style for spreading or dipping and a Cheesy sauce. Tip: The prep time of 15 minutes includes the blending but the cashews do require soaking overnight. Also, see notes on recipe regarding blenders. Hint: See notes on recipe for variation ideas.

This coconut yoghurt based dressing is thick, rich & gorgeous. It will easily go on your favourite dressings list. TIP: You can swap to Greek Yoghurt, and swap out coriander for mint or basil.

Sweet, Sour, Hot & Salty! Everything you look for in Asian cuisine. Pour this dressing over cucumber ribbons, julienne carrots, shredded cabbage, lettuce & lots and lots of fresh herbs! TIP: 1/4 a small red chilli will make a spicy dressing, but you can add as much as you want!

Sweet & Tangy. So easy to make and will compliment most salads.

Great with most salads. Tip: you can swap out the honey for maple syrup or coconut sugar.

If you love tzatziki, this is a great dairy-free option. TIP: We like to use raw garlic in some of our dressings. If you're not a huge fan of raw garlic, maybe start with about a quarter of clove. Raw garlic has many health benefits, so try and add as much as you can!

Most people love Caesar Dressing. However, the bottled versions are full of additives, preservatives & other ingredients we don't know how to pronounce. Please note with our mayonnaise option below we've used a good store-bought mayo (always check your ingredients), however, we also have a homemade mayo recipe in this section. TIP: Anchovy fillets are a big part of where the Caesar dressing gets its flavour. We've only listed it as optional as it's a 50/50 on who actually likes them! If you're not using them, maybe add some extra mustard, lemon & salt to increase your flavours. Some pepper will work will too.

If you like satay sauce this one's easy with all the healthy ingredients. We've got 2 options for serving raw or cooked. TIP: If peanuts are not part of your diet you can swap the peanut butter for almond or cashew. Also, fresh garlic can be swapped out for garlic powder.

This pesto is super quick and easy. We make it with a mortar and pestle due to the serving size and it makes 2 1/2 to 3 teaspoons. If you are making a larger amount you can use a blender. Hint: You don't need a fancy big mortar and pestle, any size and shape will do. Tip: Rather than toasting the pine nuts every time you can roast a batch and store them in a sealed jar in the fridge.

A very healthy alternative to store-bought tomato sauce, no nasty additives or preservatives, just tomato and spices with a little honey for sweetness. You can make this in 6 minutes!

If you ask us, this sauce is better than any bought kind and it has none of the horrible additives either. You will need a stick blender or a very small food processor but trust me, it's worth it. Hint: This makes around 2 1/2 tablespoons of sauce but the recipe is easily doubled.

All the flavour you need for a gorgeous salad dressing or dipping sauce. TIP: Paleo, Vegan & Dairy Free swap out Greek yoghurt for a good quality plain coconut yoghurt.

We tried a few different recipe variations of Paleo gravy before settling on this one as a definite favourite! Any recipes using tapioca flour or similar to thicken them always ended with an ok result, this method using cauliflower to thicken means 1 extra step but trust us, it's totally worth the time. Hint: See notes for variations. Tip: Make extra and freeze in portions.

This pesto is a little different but in a very good way! So delicious! Use it as a dip, spread or topping. We love it on the AIP approved Foccacia bread. To make this pesto AIP friendly be sure to use horseradish cream and not mustard. Hint: We use the pre-cooked beetroot available from most leading supermarkets.

Hummus doesn't necessarily need to be made with chickpeas, which means even if you're following a paleo diet you can still enjoy it! This cauliflower version is seriously delish but check out our other recipes too! Note: This makes just under half a cup.

This sauce works beautifully with seafood but don't stop there! It also works on chicken, beef or pork too!

A zesty vinaigrette dressing with a great kick of herbs that will work on all of your favourite salads.

Sweet more than tart, and such a beautiful dressing for salads.

Seriously good hummus that fits right into the paleo diet, no legumes! You can use blanched almonds for this but we love to blanch them fresh. You can blend this to whatever texture you like, it tastes incredible any which way, you can use it as a dip, a side or thin it down and use as a dressing. This recipe makes a little over 1/3 cup.

A quick and easy homemade mayonnaise recipe that you will want to make again and again. It's Keto, Paleo and dairy free with no added sugars or toxic vegetable oils in sight so it will fit with most dietary protocols. Note: Makes approx. 2/3 cup. Tip: We used light tasting olive oil but the other suggested oils will work just as well.

Creamy and cheesy without any dairy in sight! This recipe makes enough for a side sauce with your fave vegetables or protein. It will keep for a few days so if you don't use it all in one go we know you will find something else to put it on!

A punchy & zesty dressing that is amazing on any salad or even warm veggies.
