21 Day Fix Approved BBQ Sauce

When you adopt the 21 Day Fix as a way of life like I have...there are just certain foods you miss. Like BBQ sauce.

I really don't miss store-bought salad dressing; my dressings made at home from olive oil or avocado, fresh herbs, and vinegar or lemon juice are way yummier and don't give me a sugar rush and crash (and what's sugar doing in salad dressing anyway?)

BBQ sauce took a little more work to figure out how to make it from Fix-approved ingredients...but I did it! If you try it, let me know if you agree that it's finger-lickin' good!

1/4 c tomato paste

2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 Tbsp maple syrup

2 tsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

1 clove garlic, pressed or minced

1 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Pour 1/2 c water into a small saucepan. Add all ingredients except olive oil and whisk together.

Bring sauce to a boil and continue boiling for 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in olive oil.

Voila! I'd count this recipe equal to 2 orange containers, so depending on what you are making, you could double it (for 4 servings of 1 orange container each), or cut it in half (for just 1 orange container) if you're cooking for one.
