Let’s face it, there are certain sauces and dips that are everyone’s favorites. When I first started my journey with Paleo eating I had a hard time saying goodbye to things like mayonnaise, my favorite barbecue sauce, and especially ranch. Now obviously we don’t need these sauces and once I learned how to cook using real foods I found myself not missing these sauces as much as I thought I would… but even still, it’s nice to have these Paleo recipes for your favorite go-to sauces and dips.

Carrot and Seed Crackers

by PrimalHub

Crackers are a great snack! Crisp, crunchy, and wonderful paired with dip or cheese, they’re also easy to take with you when you’re on a hike or at work. If you’re avoiding grain, however, crackers are a little hard to find. These tasty little carrot and seed crackers are a great alternative to wheat or rice crackers, and they’re so healthy! The great thing about this snack is, it’s a perfect way put the whole carrot to good use when you juice. Carrot pulp from your juicer works perfectly in this recipe!

To make the crackers, you’ll need a cup of carrot pulp. If you have a juicer, just run four or five carrots through and use what’s left over from that. If not, you can run some carrots through a food processor and then squeeze the extra juice out of the pulp. Just mix the carrot pulp together with ground flax seed, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. Add sea salt, fresh garlic, cracked black pepper, and a bit of parsley and stir it up to make a dough. You might need to add a tablespoon or two of carrot juice or water to soften it up a bit.

Press or roll the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and then cut the crackers…I used a pizza wheel, which cut right through the seeds and left nice clean lines. Bake the crackers (or, if you’d like to make yours raw, dehydrate them instead). When they’re crisp, snap them apart along the scored lines. Easy! These crackers have a nice, crunchy texture and and a light but savory flavor that goes well with many things. And, they’re full of healthy vitamins, fiber, and Omega 3. You can feel good about snacking on them, and they are surprisingly filling. A few of these crackers with a little raw milk cheese or cashew butter will keep you going until dinner!

Save Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup firmly packed carrot pulp
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1-2 tablespoons carrot juice
1 clove crushed garlic
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
If you have a juicer, run 4 or 5 carrots through it and pack the carrot pulp into a measuring cup to make one cup of pulp. If not, pulse 3-4 large carrots in a food processor until you have very fine bits. Squeeze out the juice, reserving several tablespoons.
In a bowl, combine the pulp, flax seed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, crushed garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir well.
If the dough is too dry, add carrot juice a tablespoon at a time to make it firm but not crumbly.
Line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Press or roll the dough onto the paper, to about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a pizza wheel or knife, score the crackers into 2 inch squares.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200 degrees, and continue to bake until the crackers are crisp. Baking time will vary, depending on how much moisture is in the carrots.
If you'd like your crackers raw, dehydrate them according to your food dehydrator's directions instead of baking them (generally, expect 8-10 hours of drying time at 115 degrees).

Paleo Chicken and Avocado Salad

by PrimalHub

Something I’ve learned over the years is that, when it comes to cooking, simple is often better. When I first started cooking I was eager to try all sorts of things…new kitchen gadgets, a variety of conveniently packaged ingredients, and every spice in the spice rack. As the years have passed I’ve realized that a lot of handy “time saving” kitchen gadgets only end up complicating things (they take up space, require assembly and are often a pain to wash). Most conveniently prepared and packaged foods are full of additives that I’d rather not feed my family. I still love to play with spices, but I’ve learned that no matter how exotic the spices in the spice rack may be, you really can’t beat freshly snipped basil from the garden.

“Simple is better” is at the heart of this recipe for Paleo Chicken Avocado Salad. Start with fresh, healthy ingredients at the peak of ripeness…Roma tomatoes, ripe avocados, English cucumbers, flavorful Kalamata olives and fresh, cage-free chicken. The right ingredients make a world of difference, the flavor of a nice vine-ripened tomato is so wonderful that you don’t want to cover it up with much! The other great thing about a simple salad is that it’s so easy to make. Grill and cube the chicken, and cut the veggies into cubes about the same size. Toss everything together, and then make the dressing!

I love a nice balsamic vinaigrette, and this one goes wonderfully with the chicken and avocado. Just whisk together some organic balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of stone ground mustard. Add a clove of crushed garlic and whisk again until it’s creamy and emulsified, and then drizzle it over the salad. Fresh, delicious, and healthy! This is a great one-dish lunch or dinner option, and it’s perfect for warm days when you don’t want to heat the kitchen up. The recipe below makes a generous main-course serving for two, double it if you’re feeding a family!

15 Delicious Paleo Seafood Dishes

by PrimalHub

Growing up I lived in a home that never really saw any type of fish hit the dinner table unless it was fish sticks from a box. I know, right? Due to this I always thought I didn’t like fish… oh how wrong I was. Obviously as I got older and started to take control over my own meals I realized what I had been missing out on. There is something about seafood that is so rich and refreshing. Here are a few of our most favorite Paleo seafood dishes.

Creamy Coconut Milk Ice Cream

by PrimalHub

I love ice cream! So cold, creamy and delicious on a hot day. I’ve always thought that to make ice cream at home you need a machine of some sort, and I have fond memories of hours spent cranking an ice cream maker out in the back yard when I was a kid. It seemed like a complex process, involving a lot of ice and rock salt. Recently a friend of mine assured me that it’s easy to make ice cream using what you probably already have on hand in the kitchen, no machine or rock salt needed! I couldn’t wait to try. This easy recipe is so healthy and simple, you’ll be able to whip up a batch of homemade ice cream any time you’d like.

You’ll need a can of coconut milk, fresh fruit, and a little sweetener. That’s it! I found a recipe for orange creamsicle ice cream at the Super Healthy Kids website, and did a little playing around with it. The recipe calls for just oranges, but I was in the mood for something tropical…so I added mango and banana to the mix. Yum! First you chop the fruit and freeze it, so you’ll need to plan ahead a bit. This is a job that kids love! Have them pick the type of fruit and help you wash and prepare it (most ripe fruit is easily cut with a butter knife). Then, freeze it on a plate for a couple of hours…why not make a variety of fruit combinations and keep them frozen to use later? You never know when you’ll be craving ice cream!

After the fruit is frozen, put half of it in a blender or food processor with the can of coconut milk and the sweetener (I used a little maple syrup). Blend until pureed, then add the rest of the fruit and blend again. This way, you have control over the fruit chunks in your ice cream…you can blend it very smooth, or leave some pieces if you’d like. Pour your ice cream into a freezer-safe container and then freeze it until it’s solid. Then, scoop it out and serve it! Smooth, delicious ice cream…without dairy, eggs, processed sugar or additives. Yum!

It's easy to make this delicious non-dairy ice cream! All you need is fruit, coconut milk, and a tiny bit of maple syrup. Cold, creamy, and so good!

Write a review

Save Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups fruit, chopped and frozen (I used 2 small mangoes, a banana, and an orange)
1 can (1 3/4 cup) full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup (to taste)

Instructions

Peel and chop the fruit. place it on parchment paper and freeze for 2 hours, until solid (I learned the hard way that you'll want the parchment paper, as the fruit will freeze to the plate otherwise).
Once the fruit is frozen, put 1/2 of the fruit chunks in a food processor. Pour in the can of coconut milk and add the maple syrup, and puree until the mixture is smooth.
Add the rest of the fruit and pulse again. If you'd like your ice cream smooth, just blend until all the chunks are gone. Or, leave a few if you like a more chunky texture!
Put the ice cream in a freezer-safe container, and freeze until solid...about 2 hours. Allow it to warm up a bit before scooping.

Notes

If you like softer ice cream, just stir the ice cream every 20 minutes as it's freezing and then serve before it's solid! This makes a wonderful soft ice cream.

Paleo Icelandic Date Cake

by PrimalHub

My friend from Iceland is an amazing cook! I look forward to parties at her house, where there’s sure to be a variety of exotic and delicious desserts. This recipe is a favorite, and comes from a holiday baking magazine that comes out once a year in Iceland. Happily, it happens to be naturally Paleo….and very delicious! The cake is made of egg whites, dates, almonds and dark chocolate. Topped with whipped coconut cream and fresh berries, it has a wonderful and unique texture that makes for the perfect light but satisfying dessert.

The recipe is written in Icelandic (a complicated language if every there was one) and needed to be translated both in terms of language and measurements. I played around a bit with it, and it’s flexible enough that fudging a little with the original didn’t make a big difference with the final product. You start by chopping dates, almonds, and dark chocolate. You can play around a bit with this, I chopped mine more coarsely than she usually chops hers…both ways are good, it’s really up to you as to how “chewy” you want your cake to be. Once you’ve got the chopping finished, whip three egg whites with a bit of coconut sugar until stiff peaks form. Then, just fold the chopped nuts, dates and chocolate into the egg whites. Bake the cake in a spring form pan for 40 minutes.

You can top the cake with whipped cream (if you’re OK with dairy) or whipped coconut cream. The cake itself is sweet enough that you really don’t need to add any sweetener to the topping! Slather on the cream, sprinkle some fresh berries on top, and it’s ready to serve. Elegant, unusual and delicious!

Ingredients

1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped blanched almonds
1 cup chopped dark chocolate
3 egg whites
1/3 cup coconut sugar
Whipped cream or whipped coconut cream (for the topping)
Fresh berries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 320 degrees.
Chop the dates, almonds, and dark chocolate. You'll want to chop these finely, although you can adjust this depending on what you'd like the texture of the cake to be.
Whip the egg whites with the coconut sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold the chopped dates, almonds and chocolate into the egg whites, stirring until they are evenly distributed.
Grease the sides of a spring-form pan with coconut oil. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Spread the batter into the pan, and bake for 40 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely. Use a knife to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan before removing the sides.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream or coconut cream over the top of the cake, and sprinkle with fresh berries.

Paleo Pesto

by PrimalHub

Fresh, homemade pesto is such a wonderful and versatile thing! It may have gotten its starts in pasta, but it’s also amazing on grilled steak, lamb, chicken or fish. A little homemade pesto goes a long way in hummus, salad dressing, or in a dip. I like to have homemade pesto on hand, and I’ve found that if you freeze it in an ice cube tray you can pop out pesto-cubes any time you want to spice something up!

Most pesto contains a good deal of cheese, but I’ve found that with a bit of creativity it’s just fine to leave it out. Hard cheeses like Parmesan or Romano add a distinct umami flavor to food (umami is the “savory” flavor that we can taste in addition to sweet, sour, salty and bitter). To make up for the lack of cheese, we just need to add a little umami from a different source! I used a good, thick aged balsamic vinegar, but a balsamic vinegar reduction would work just as well (you can make this by letting a cup of vinegar simmer until it thickens). Just puree fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic and a little of the vinegar with a good quality oil…extra-virgin olive oil and avocado oil are both great.

Once the pesto is smooth (you may need a tiny bit of water to get the right consistency) you can either serve it, or put it in an ice cube tray to freeze. When the garden is going crazy with basil, I make several large batches and freeze it…I pop out the pesto cubes, put them all in an air-tight container, and then use them all year round. It’s amazing how much flavor one cube of pesto can add to a pan of sauteed vegetables!

1/3 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or avocado oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled

1 teaspoon sea salt
2-4 tablespoons water

Instructions

In a food processor, combine the basil and pine nuts. Blend well.
Using a rubber spatula, push the mixture down in the food processor and blend again. Add the oil as you continue to puree the pesto.
Add the garlic cloves and balsamic vinegar and continue to puree.
Add the salt, and the water a tablespoon at a time until the pesto reaches the desired consistency.
If you'd like, you can put the pesto into an ice cube tray and freeze it. Pop the pesto cubes out and keep them in the freezer in an airtight container to use later.
