Homemade Mayo

What would a tuna salad sandwich or potato salad be without the mayo? While it sometimes gets a bad rap because it’s calorically dense, homemade mayo uses only high-quality, real food ingredients like eggs, oil, and vinegar. If you don’t have avocado oil, feel free to use whatever oil you have on hand like canola or grapeseed. Just be sure to use pasteurized eggs in this recipe since the eggs are raw.

Red Salsa

Skip the store-bought and pre-made salsa, and make your own homemade version. This recipe calls for canned tomatoes, which offer an added nutrition bonus!

Tomato Marinara

Sure, you can buy marinara premade at the grocery store, but nothing is quite as comforting as homemade tomato sauce simmering on the stove. From a health standpoint, we also love tomato sauce because tomatoes contain the health-promoting antioxidant, lycopene, which becomes more available to your body when it's heated.
