DIPS & SAUCES
SALAMI CHIPSWITH BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
SERVES 6 PREP TIME: 10 minutes (not including time to cook chicken) COOK TIME: 10 minutes Whether you make the dip or not, this recipe is worth it for the chips alone! Baking sliced salami (pepperoni works as well) makes it ultra-crisp and great for snacking. 8 ounces...

MAYONNAISE
MAKES 1¼ cups (260 g) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — A keto cookbook is not complete without a mayonnaise recipe. Yes, you can buy mayonnaise; my favorite is avocado oil mayonnaise from Chosen Foods or Primal Kitchen. But if you want to save a couple dollars and...
EGG-FREE MAYONNAISE
MAKES 1¾ cups (365 g) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — While not completely keto diet–approved because it uses the liquid from a can of chickpeas (called aquafaba), this is a fabulous mayonnaise alternative for those who are sensitive to eggs. ¼ cup plus 2...
READY-IN-SECONDS HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
MAKES 1¾ cups (415 ml) PREP TIME: 2 minutes COOK TIME: — This stuff is amazing on just about any type of fish, spread over the top of a Mug Biscuit (here), or drizzled over roasted asparagus. Unlike traditional hollandaise, where the fat is heated and the eggs are...
HERBY VINAIGRETTE & MARINADE
MAKES 1⅓ cups (315 ml) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — This recipe is awesome for midsummer when fresh herbs from the garden are at their peak. I added a healthy dose of oregano oil to this dressing because oregano oil is a potent antibiotic that has the potential...
CHOCOLATE SAUCE
MAKES ¾ cup (180 ml) PREP TIME: 1 minute COOK TIME: — Anywhere you want chocolate, add this sauce! My favorite way to use it is to blend it into fatty coffees, but drizzling it over chilled and whipped coconut cream, ice cream, or fresh berries is a close runner-up. ½...
CREAMY ITALIAN DRESSING
MAKES 1½ cups (350 ml) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — Yes, you could make this dressing with fresh ingredients like crushed garlic, fresh thyme, and/or fresh basil, but that would take a lot of time and cost more. My vote? Double the recipe—or heck, even triple...
TERIYAKI SAUCE & MARINADE
MAKES 1½ cups (350 ml) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — Awesome as a marinade for pork or fresh-cut vegetables (especially broccoli or bok choy) and in a stir-fry. Try not to overthink your keto cooking! Chop up a couple of random vegetables, add some meat and this...
POPPY SEED DRESSING
MAKES 1½ cups (350 ml) PREP TIME: 5 minutes COOK TIME: — Why use confectioners’-style erythritol for this dressing? Well, you could use granulated, but then you’d have to heat the mixture to dissolve the sweetener, and that seems like an awful lot of work. I always...
