High-fat dressings/sauces

marlamp10

After a couple of months of eating this way, I've settled into a routine of meat/poultry/fish with a lowcarb veggie and something high-fat to dress it up. My fallbacks are homemade alfredo sauce (which I can make in the microwave in about 4 minutes), hot artichoke dip, and blue cheese dressing. And avocado or sour cream, of course. They're all high fat and fast.

But I'm looking for some new flavor combinations. Do you have any other favorite sauces, dressings, or dips that you like to keep on hand?

mayo?

Seemingly nasty combos I've used: cream cheese/cheddar + EVOO, Avocado + EVOO, Avocado + Salsa + EVOO, Coconut mana/pulp + Balsamic vinagrette

Mix this up ahead of time in these proportions:

10g garlic powder
10g onion powder
2g cumin
2g paprika
1g cinnamon
1g turmeric
1g ginger

I make a big container of this and just scoop it out as I need it. It's also great as a meat rub. When I want dressing...

25g powdered mix
15g avocado (or more if I'm feeling frisky)
15g EVOO (tablespoon-ish)
4oz heavy cream

Whip it. Whip it good!

Change the proportions to fit the consistency you want. Hubby would just eat this stuff as a meal, if I'd let him.

Ranch dressing is generally low carb, so that's an easy option.

Cream cheese and just about anything to thin it out a little bit makes a great sauce base. Toss together a block of cream cheese and a can of tomatoes and green chilis (including the water it's packed in), and you got yourself a tasty and quick cheese salsa.

Toss things like onion, garlic, chipotle, or other zesty dried spices into mayo for flavored sauces.

I love mayo. That's the fat base for the hot artichoke dip. I just need to find some flavor variety.

That sounds great!

I never thought about avocado and EVOO--that sounds like a good base.

YES!!

Wow, I want that for dinner tonight.

Dijon mustard, minced garlic, EVOO and lemon juice. Makes a great coating for fish/shrimp/chicken. It's my go to for when I make salmon. I just kind of free hand the ingredients til I get the flavor I am looking for. I usually go a little heavy handed with the Dijon and garlic. I just keep track of how much I use and make up the recipe to add to my diary.

I like to mix a couple tbsp of mayo w/ about a half cup of sour cream & a squirt of fresh lime juice for a sauce w/ mexi foods. The mayo cuts the sour cream nicely.

Yum on both of these. The sour cream/lime reminds me of the sauce that Taco Bell uses on their grilled steak tacos. I bet that's really good.

The sour cream gravy from this recipe is really yummy:

I will sometimes brown some minced garlic in butter, add some HWC and toss in a little of any white cheese I have on hand and pour over meat or veg. Yummy, garlic-buttery cream sauce.

That sounds really good! And simple, which is a huge plus for me.

I'll have to try that.

I haven't had enough garlic in my life lately. . .

I'm being really slow, no doubt, but what is EVOO?
