Try adding one or more of these flavor enhancers to create a secret sauce that’s all your own!

Fresh or Dried Herbs: For simple yet classic flavor flair, make it herbaceous! Complementary combos are endless, like chopped dill, scallion and Italian parsley mayo for your eggwich, grilled eggplant-wich or bagels and lox.
Gochujang: This Korean chili paste adds umami, mild tanginess and some spiciness to your spread—it’s great on chicken or fish sandwiches and tuna melts, plus burgers!
Tamari & Sesame Oil with Chives: These inclusions impart a mellow, nutty earthiness with a bright burst of chives that enhances whatever you’re saucing up. Goes great with fried chicken sandwiches and crunchy, leafy lettuce!
Sriracha: For a spicy kick, squeeze in some Sriracha! You can customize the heat level to whatever your Goldilocks zone is with more or less in the mix. Add its intrigue to anything from breakfast bites to grilled cheese or veggie-based eats.
Roasted Garlic: Who doesn’t like a bit of garlic? Add a little squeeze of lemon in, too, for a bit of extra luxuriousness in this savory spread. We can confidently say this variation goes with everything.
Once you make your custom condiment, you’ll need something to put it in! Drop by our General Merchandise Department to pick up a BPA-free squeeze bottle or two from family-owned Harold Import Company, perfect for easy squeezing, fancy plating and storing sauces alike!
