Contrary to what many believe, eating a healthy diet does not mean give up the taste
Sauces and dressings are the first thing to be eliminated from the diet when you are looking to lose weight. However, accompanying meat, fish or pasta from day to day is possible as long as we opt for the most ‘light’ version of the sauces like the ones we propose.
yogurt sauce
This type of sauce is light, refreshing and perfect to accompany vegetables, all kinds of salads or Turkish dishes. As in all sauces, depending on the ingredients we use, it will have a more acidic, stronger flavor or it will be more ‘light’.
One of the easiest recipes to make this sauce in its less caloric version is to add the juice of a small lemon, a clove of minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper and a dash of oil to a low-fat yogurt.
Red fruit sauce
A delicious way to incorporate into the diet an extra dose of antioxidants is to do it through this sauce, perfect to accompany meats or to use it in desserts. Its recipe is very simple: wash about 200 gr. of red fruits (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries…) and place them in a casserole with the juice of a lemon. Cook over low heat until a thick mass is left. If you think it is necessary, add a little water or a few drops of sweetener.
curry sauce
Lovers of intense and exotic flavors will love this typical sauce of indian gastronomy. Curry is a mixture of spices including turmeric, coriander or cumin, so it has great antioxidant and digestive properties.
To prepare a homemade curry sauce you will need two teaspoons of curry powder, two natural low-fat yogurt, one lemon, one white onion, one clove of garlic, salt and pepper to taste. She begins by frying the onion in a pan with a few drops of oil over low heat. When the onion becomes almost transparent, add the minced garlic and the curry. Meanwhile, put the yogurt in a container together with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the mixture to the pan and stir everything well so that the flavors are integrated.
