Balsamic Vinegar

Balsamic vinegar is slightly sweet, so pairs wonderfully with bitter veggies like spinach, collards or kale. It can also help enhance the sweet flavor of slightly sweet veggies like sweet potatoes, butternut squash or pumpkin. It is also delicious on poultry and fish.  Use as a topping for sandwiches, pasta or salads. 

​

White Balsamic Vinegar

This vinegar is even sweeter than most balsamic vinegar, and a less harsh, acidic flavor.

​

Red Wine Vinegar

Red wine vinegar can add a ton of flavor to your food. Add some at the end of tomato-based sauces or soups to elevate the flavor.

​

Sherry Vinegar

Sherry vinegar has a slightly sweet, mellow vinegar flavor and is delicious to use on nearly anything. Add it to homemade sauces, soups or even egg dishes to truly elevate the flavor.

​

​

No Sodium Salad Dressing

Flavored vinegar makes a wonderful low sodium salad dressing. Simply whisk 1 tablespoon of your favorite flavored vinegar with 3 tablespoons oil (choose olive oil for a heart healthy fat!) and you are good to go!

​

If you would like to stop your vinaigrette from separating, add 1-2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard or mayonnaise to help it stay emulsified.

Lemon or Lime Juice

Citrus juices are wonderful salt substitutes for kidney patients. Try sprinkling fresh lemon juice on chicken noodle soup right before you eat it. Or, add it to baked chicken, fish, nearly any vegetable or pasta dish.
