Secret Sauce

          It’s a new year and a lot of people are trying to stick to their resolutions of a healthier lifestyle.  One of the resolutions may be about the consumption of too much salt.  I for one have to watch my salt intake so I won’t get swollen ankles.  So what does all this have to do with a secret sauce?  Well the reason it is called Secret Sauce is that it was the secret to getting my son to eat his broccoli.  It is made with a salt-free seasoning called Sunny Paris Seasoning from The Spice House. www.thespicehouse.com  Secret Sauce is a simple ranch style sauce you can use as a dip, on vegetables as in the case of my son, or any other way you use ranch dressing.  I personally like it on baked potatoes instead of sour cream.

Secret Sauce

1 c. Low Fat Mayonnaise (Don’t use salad dressing)

1 c. Buttermilk

2 tsp. Sunny Paris Seasoning

1. Blend together the Mayonnaise and Buttermilk.  (Tip: I use pint size mason jars.  Close it up and shake the Mayonnaise and Buttermilk until blended.)
2. Add Seasoning and blend in or, if using the jar, shake until the Seasoning looks like it has been distributed throughout the Mayonnaise-Buttermilk mixture.
3. Use the Sauce right away or refrigerate until needed.

This sauce has such flavor you won’t miss the salt.
