EASY WAYS TO USE THESE SIMPLE SAUCES

Peanut sauce is perfect to use for a dip for chicken or shrimp or just over warm noodles for a quick, tasty pasta dish.

For a quick basil pesto, combine basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add olive oil and Pecorino cheese.

Cucumber, creamy Greek yogurt, and lemon make Tzatziki the perfect condiment for just about everything.

Marinara is one of life’s simple pleasures. With simple and flavorful ingredients, this sauce is hands-down the most versatile.

Tahini is a main ingredient in hummus but it is also great as a dip for crudités or spread on pita.
