Bonus Ways to Use Barbecue Sauce

Looking for some new ways to enjoy your favorite barbecue sauce? Try these three easy recipes that will help you savor every last bite of the summer, no grilling required.

So...BBQ remoulade. I know, I know - what the heck is a remoulade? It's a French cold sauce you can use as a condiment or dip, similar to a tartar sauce...just with an extra fancy French name. With a BBQ twist, this recipe is perfect for cold chicken sandwiches, to dip your fries in, dollop on crab cakes, or with poached shrimp.

Barbecue Remoulade

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonaise

• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

• 2 Tbsp. dill pickle relish

• 2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped

• 1 Tbsp. capers, chopped

• 1 Tbsp. coarse-grain Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients in a bowl; stir well to combine.

Barbecue sauce on the main dish is expected. Sneaking it into a side dish will surprise tastebuds. This potato salad recipe has a tangy bite plus the creaminess you come to expect from more traditional recipes.

• 2/3 cup sliced scallions

• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes until tender; drain.

Skip the potato chips and snack on these instead. Pecan nuts contain monounsaturated fats such as oleic acid along with phenolic antioxidants to support a healthy heart. Plus, they support healthy weight management and happy skin. With twice as much protein as their potato chip counterpart, this snack will keep you satisfied longer, too!
