Paleo Sweet and Spicy Dipping Sauce, GF
We miss condiments. A lot of the Paleo food that we are eating would be great with condiments! But unfortunately, those condiments would not be great for our Paleo diet. So we decided to make one that was. We knew that not just any condiment would do– it couldn’t be just ok or vaguely resemble a condiment.
It had to be something great, something that could make us forget about the Ketchup or BBQ sauce that we used to know. And this something is Paleo Sweet and Spicy Dipping Sauce.
This sauce is sooo good! On par with what we have had at restaurants.
Its not too spicy, not too sweet–and has the just right texture– its thick enough to stay on what you are eating post-dunk.
Finally a normal textured, normal tasting Paleo condiment!
We no longer eat our paleo chicken fingers while secretly wishing that we could dunk them in ketchup because we have something better to dunk them into.
Yuuum!
It really completes many a meal that requires a dipping sauce. We love it with eggplant, pulled pork or sweet potato fries.
It really is satisfying with so many foods! So what are you waiting for??
