Good condiments make a huge difference to me in good flavor... which means that they make a huge difference in my ability to eat healthy foods day after day after day. And some are major calorie busters, but a lot aren't too bad.

Here are my favorites, all under 50cal/serving.

Salsa
Pesto
Bruschetta
Honey (1tsp)
Mustard - love brown, spicy, whole grain...
No sugar added jellies
Lite Italian dressing
Not exactly a condiment but ~.3 serving salami

A tsp of pesto and a touch of salami can make a my 28th turkey sandwich this month a lot more palatable.

What are yours?

    Believe it or not, Aldi's SimplyNature Organic Chipotle Ranch dressing is really good, and I use it a lot on everything. Hot sauce also makes just about everything better.

    Sriracha goes on everything in my household. Take a can of beans- add sriracha; Eggs? Sriracha; Ramen, grilled cheese, baked chicken...if it's edible I probably have put sriracha on it lol.

    Bleh...dislike them all. I'll tolerate a tiny bit of regular mustard or salsa. Restaurant staff definitely look at you strangely when you ask for no condiments on the food lol. ;) Yeah...i'll take a veggie burger, no ketchup, no mustard, no mayo and a side salad no dressing :D

    Oh man, a favorite? That's like choosing among children.
    Crushed red pepper for that universe, cinnamon for that universe, etc for the multiverse of foods and occasions.
