Salsa
Adding essential oils to a salsa recipe not only
enhances the flavor, but can save time when you
don’t have fresh ingredients. For example, if you
don’t have time to go to the store to get fresh limes,
you can always add a drop of Lime essential oil to
your salsa recipe. Other essential oils like Cilantro,
Coriander, Lemon, and Cumin can help spice up any
salsa recipe, without any extra effort or cook time.

½ cup red onion, diced (about half a medium onion)
5 drops Lime essential oil
2 drops Cilantro essential oil
3 teaspoons sea salt
Directions

Sauces and dips
Whether you want to break free from boring, bland dinners; need creative snacks to give your kids after
school; or want to mix up your favorite dip recipe before hosting the next game night, adding essential oils
to dips and sauces is an easy way to bring more flavor to the table. Essential oils make a great addition to
hummus, chip dip, spread, and more. Adding a drop of essential oil to a simple pesto or marinara can also
liven up any plain pasta recipe. Because dips and sauces are often served in small portions, add essential oils
using the toothpick method to ensure that you don’t overpower the recipe with too much oil.
