Paleo Friendly Condiments
Mayonnaise – Mayonnaise is popular on sandwiches and a variety of other foods, not all blends are Paleo so make sure to check the ingredients or make your own at home

Mustard – Since Mustard is made from seeds it makes sense that his yellow condiment is safe to eat on Hot Dogs and more

Honey Mustard – Honey mustard is a popular condiment and dunking sauce for chicken tenders and a range of other kids foods – and it is OK on Paleo

Paleo Friendly Sauces
Pesto – Pesto sauce is an easy way to add a healthy taste of Italy to many foods (or even pizza!).

Worcestershire sauce – Worcestershire sauce is common in many dinner foods, and it is safe to eat on Paleo so feel free to add a few tablespoons to your recipe
Horseradish – Horseradish is not the most popular condiment, but it is Paleo approved.
Soy Sauce – The most popular Asian condiment or sauce in the US is Soy Sauce. It is a good choice on Chinese, Korean and Mongolian foods – and it is Paleo friendly!
