Good things come in small packages. Take dips, sauces and spreads.

 

Although not the main fare on the dining table, these condiments enhance the flavor and texture of food, turning even snacks into a sumptuous dish.

 

Spreads expand our sandwich repertoire, while dips turn raw vegetables like carrots and celery into tasty, healthy snacks.

 

The Goodness Jar, a new line of dips and spreads, offers some suggestions on how to use the products.

 

As filling for omelet or mixed with scrambled eggs

 

As substitute for butter and mayonnaise in hamburger and hotdog sandwiches

 

Slathered on steak, chicken fillet or grilled fish, for a delectable entrée

 

As topping for baked potatoes or blended with mashed potatoes

 

Whipped into pasta sauce by adding milk

 

As stuffing for roast chicken (under skin, breast, legs)

 

Tossed into steamed broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower or kangkong

 

Smeared on boiled or grilled corn on the cob

 

The Goodness Jar comes in four variants—Liver Pâté, Garlic Herb, Creamy Jalapeño and Pesto Cheese—and is available at The List Salon in Bonifacio High Street, Island Favorites in Greenhills and Tommy’s Freshly Roasted Coffee shops in Makati City.

 

An early bestseller is Pesto Cheese, a blend of freshly made pesto and rich-flavored cheeses. Garlic herb is inspired by the Boursin cheese, a staple in the family’s cheese platters.

The perfect blend of zesty garlic and fresh herbs creates an intense flavor that gives life to any dish.

 

Creamy Jalapeño, with real jalapeño bits, is a perfect dip for crispy nachos or crackers.
