Sauces & Condiments

Add flavor and luscious texture with our vegan sauces and condiments. Take sandwiches and wraps from yawn to yum with hummuses and spreads. Toss whole grain pasta with a zesty tomato or rich cheesy sauce. Step up your salad game with vegan dressings spanning the flavor spectrum, from ranch to oil-free vinaigrettes. Dial up the decadence of desserts with vegan whipped cream or frosting. And stock your refrigerator with healthful plant-based versions of staple condiments such as ketchup and sour cream.

Roasted Tomato Salsa

A friend taught me his family recipe for salsa roja de molcajete, or tomato salsa made in a traditional stone mortar and pestle. I’ve adapted it so it can be made without the mortar and pestle. Roasting the chile and the tomatoes brings out the authentic earthy taste, even without the traditional tool.
