The History of Sauces (And Why We Love Putting Them on Out Food) – Sauces are defined as “liquids that accompany the main ingredients of a dish”. They enhance flavor in different ways. Sometimes, they’re added to intensify the food’s own flavor, while other times we may use them to complement the dish with contrasting tastes. Sauces were created from our constant need to make things tastier and stimulate our senses! – Not vegan.

30 Easy Vegan Sauces – by Terri Edwards at Eat Plant-Based, https://eatplant-based.com/

– Creamy sauces are perfect for so many dishes and can be quite versatile like a dollop of sour cream on a piping hot baked potato. There’s a lot more in the long list at the bottom of the page.

– Savory sauces can be used in many different ways, and I have many more than just these three below. So, scroll down until you see the photos of each one.

– Tangy doesn’t always mean salad dressings. It can even be lime sauce to serve with fruit or cake. I have plenty more at the bottom of the page.

– Sweet sauce could even include lightly sweet ones like ketchup and marinara for spaghetti, so I’ve made sure to list those in the big list below with photos.

– Healthy salad dressings can be used as dips as well as on salads. That’s why I have included a few here, as well as at the bottom of the page.

– Marinades & Stir-Fry sauces. Talk about versatility! These sauces can be used as marinades or even in stir-fries. The three here are only to whet your appetite because there are lots more below.

– Cheesy sauces. Nothing says warm and creamy like vegan cheese sauces, so I have added a few of my favorites to this list. They are perfect for making pizza, nachos, tacos, and more!
