This Smokey-Sweet Barbecue Sauce is a great addition to your recipe collection. This can be made spicier with the addition of cayenne. I kept mine mild and spiced it up for my husband.

Shrimp cocktail is a simple snack on ZReduction. If you plan to eat it regularly, you might want to consider making your own cocktail sauce. It's quick, easy and delicious.

A spicy and refreshing salsa can jazz up any dish. Dieter Lois shared this recipe for her ZReduction-friendly salsa verde. She whipped up a batch to put over her eggs, but this would be good on just about anything.

In ZReduction, limit yourself to 2 Tbl per serving. This sauce is normally served along with a gyro or other Greek lamb dish. I got creative and served it with my simple crusted salmon and it was divine! We ate every morsel!

This will go well with beef burgers or even ground chicken breast burgers or grilled chicken breasts; even a steak.

You’ll think you’re eating at an Italian Grandma’s house when you taste this.

From Dieter Claire: Make this in bulk and store it in a jar. It's less expensive than taco seasoning packets and has no fillers. Plus, I can tweak the flavors to suit my family.

This sauce is so versatile. Serve over cooked chicken breast (or tenderloins) or fish of any kind. Even use it as a pool of sauce with broiled scallops on top. This can be comfort food or fancy dinner party food depending on how you serve it or what you serve with it.

Raspberry coulis is often used by dessert chefs to decorate your dessert at a restaurant. They put a swirl of it on your plate or maybe drizzle it over the top of the dessert. You can be fancy or plain as you wish.

This recipe was submitted by dieter Gene. A delicious and easy ketchup without sugar!

This is a super simple version I made up for a quick weeknight meal. It only takes a few minutes to make and really ramps up the flavor of your beef cut.

This is a Mexican-style sauce. The sauce is definitely served cold and makes a great contrast to warm fish. You can also do this with chicken if you prefer.

This peach relish tastes a bit on the Indian-side. I had mine with salmon but you could serve it over chicken or pork, too. Plus it tastes fancy enough for company.

This sauce is amazing. You can use it on beef, chicken or even a steak-like fish (Swordfish comes to mind. Or Tuna). Also a pork loin chop in Z2. In Z3 you can choose any meat/poultry or fish.

This lovely, light peach salsa can be served with all kinds of light meat and fish. I’d serve it over grilled chicken. I served it last time with sautéed scallops.

Serve with my seared sea scallops or with any fish or sea food. I think grilled shrimp would be great! Or even cooked, cold shrimp would pair nicely with this on a hot day. You can serve the sauce hot or cold.

This is a super-simple dessert or entrée accompaniment.

Mix together – will keep in refrigerator for several weeks!

This sauce is made in a French style. It’s a take-off of a classic cucumber sauce. You can serve this with grilled fish - hot or cold.
