Product Roundup: Condiments for Cookouts

Summertime means backyard barbecues, picnics in the park, and an overall sense that all eating must be done outside, grill in tow.

With this experience of hot grilled meats and cold, refreshing salads and sides, condiments are crucial to add extra flavor and spice to the most traditional of meals. Why have a hot dog in a bun, when you can have a hot dog topped with beetroot ketchup, cherry pepper spread, or a smoky and spicy kale kraut? Pasta salad is enjoyable with the expected noodles and chopped vegetables, but mixing in crunchy, zing-inducing mustard seeds or a sweet and savory radicchio jam can take that salad to a place that’s truly unexpected. Flavor knows no bounds when it comes to cookout condiments, and here are a few recent introductions to make a summer outdoor spread even more enjoyable.


Dave’s Gourmet Creamy Garlic Red Pepper Hot Sauce. A culinary experience with a little bit of heat and a lot of flavor, Creamy Garlic Red Pepper Hot Sauce is a blend of spicy red chilies, sweet roasted peppers, and garlic. The result is a delicious addition to roasted or grilled meats and vegetables. Creamy Garlic Red Pepper Hot Sauce is gluten-free, non-GMO, vegan, and made with no preservatives. davesgourmet.com
