Homemade Mediterranean Pizza Sauce Recipe

If you love playing with your own ingredients and flavors when making pizza, then this homemade Mediterranean pizza sauce recipe is for you.

I had a friend from Algeria over for dinner few weeks ago and she volunteered to teach me how to make my own homemade mediterranean pizza sauce recipe. I usually use this paleo brand, but who wouldn’t want to eat a homemade mediterranean pizza made from scratch? I am only going to share her delicious and easy pizza sauce recipe today.

Why you should make your own pizza?

Cooking your pizza yourself allows you to control the ingredients and make it healthier. Store bought pizza sauce is loaded with sodium, sugar, gluten, preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients, this without taking in consideration what goes in the dough. Not all pizzas are created equal, so making it at home will be the best thing. After few trials with the kids. I can tell you that it’s one of the most easy seasonal meals to make when you are running out of ideas. And the best thing about it, is you can top it with whatever you want and it stays delicious. You are only limited to your imagination when deciding what to put on your pizza. In Addition to healthy benefits, making it at home is so cheap. The actual price of putting together a quality pizza at home is much cheaper than buying pizza at a pizzeria. No more adding 2$ for each topping. You can put as many as you want.

I made this honey mustard salad dressing for a shrimp Salad for dinner few weeks ago and it was a hit. I originally made it to marinate fish and then thought it would be a great salad dressing to go with any of my seafood plates.

As you may already know, most store bought salad dressing contain so many unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients ( high fructose corn syrup, soy, canola oil ) just to name a few . It takes five minutes to make a delicious sale dressing. Checkout my tahini dressing and dip if you like to try another easy healthy version.

 Homemade honey mustard dressing 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup olive oil ( this is the brand I buy and trust )
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice ( fresh from a lemon is best )
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar ( buy it here )
• 1 teaspoon gluten free mustard ( buy it here )
• 1 teaspoon organic raw honey ( buy it here )
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 clove garlic
• pinch sea salt and pepper

Instruction:

place all the liquid ingredients in a bowl and and whisk then add all the rest. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Note: I like to feel the texture of the ginger and and parsley in this recipe. Feel free to use a food processor to ground it more.

Enjoy!

Healthy Tahini Salad Dressing Recipe

Most store bought salad dressings contain High Fructose Corn Syrup, Genetically Modified Ingredients, Nanoparticles, MSG, Trans Fat..etc. Think again the next time you stop at the salad dressing ail at the grocery store . It takes two minutes to make a delicious, nutritious salad dressing with natural  ingredients from your kitchen.

This recipe includes tahini paste that is made of grounded sesame seeds.  As you may already know these yummy seeds are full of calcium, protein and are an excellent source of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, dietary fiber and several important vitamins and minerals. This recipe I am going to share with you will  give more nutrition dense to your salad or any other vegetables dishes. My best ways to eat this dressing is put it on my salad, on steamed vegetables, as a marinade for barbecued chicken and as a dip for my homemade paleo crackers.

Healthy Tahini Salad Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup virgin olive oil (get it here)
• 1 tablespoon tahini (get it here)
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (get it here)
• 1 lemon ( use just the juice)
• 1 clove garlic
• few leaves of mint and cilantro
• pinch sea salt and black pepper
• water ( if needed as this salad dressing can get thick sometimes)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy . Taste to correct seasonings (use the lesser amount of water, lemon, and vinegar and add as desired).
2. Transfer dressing to a clean jar and refrigerate. This should keep well for up to a week, and perhaps longer. It will thicken in the fridge a little and makes fabulous dip. My kids love it with my homemade crackers. A little goes a long way and this dressing is jam-packed with flavor!
