I don't normally do creamy sauces but my go to's are:
sriracha (hot!)
ayam light sweet chilli
low fat mayonnaise & some seasoning like cajun/moroccan
lime juice & seasoning

But I generally just stick with the hot sauces because A) I love them and B) they're generally fark all calories :)

I can't even eat pepper.. anything hot is fail for me :( haha
 
What about a salsa of some sort? Or make your own? I used to eat a lot of tuna/beans/veggies & salsa. (sometimes taco seasoning too).
 
Hey Viv and Chris, can you give me any ideas for what I can use for a sauce type thing to go with my veggies and tuna for lunch.. Usually I just put a bit of soy sauce, but it bores the crap out of me and really doesn't taste that good.. I guess I want something that makes it seem like i'm not eating boring as hell tuna and veggies!.. Something creamy-ish would be amazing, but I might be pushing my luck there!.. Any ideas? :D

Hey PB, I also use a lot of chilli BUT here are a few creamy style dressings/sauces I use. I like really simple stuff that has a bit of oomph to it but clean flavours so you can enjoy the food.
Or maybe I'm just italian :p

Dijon mustard is your friend (or a mix of spices as you please) ...

Mix a little dijon mustard with EVOO, fresh lemon juice, salt, finely chopped fresh herbs, add a spice if you like, some crushed garlic maybe. Whisk together until creamy.
Great on fish, chicken, salads and steamed/boiled veg.

If you want something really creamy, try doing the same but add mustard, lemon juice, to non fat or low fat greek yoghurt, season with salt and add finely chopped herbs, garlic and/or spices. Whisk until creamy and use with chicken, fish, lamb, veg, whatever.

You can add whatever seasonings you like ... moroccan/berbere/thai/italian/cajun/bbq whatever spice mix you like.

I love dukkah and sprinkle that on almost everything. gives food a nice zing and crunch too, especially veg.

I've also been using coconut amino seasoning (made by Banaban the coconut oil folks) and ponzu seasoning. These are both really good for dressings and cooking.

Hope that helps :)

dukkah has nuts and spices and seeds usually. any nuts really, and usually sesame seeds and a mix of cumin, coriander and other spices, sometimes chilli, so avoid hot ones (rare though).

Made enough for 6 decent serves!

1 serve:
452 cals
41.2g protein
18.6g fat (mostly from the mince)
23.9g carbs (could make this pretty much carb-less if you substituted the sweet potato for another veg :))
