A super easy balsamic rosemary sauce made with ingredients you probably already have on hand, and done in less than 5 minutes. Kick your meal up a notch with this AIP and paleo-friendly sauce!
As I’ve mentioned before in previous blog posts, one of the main complaints many people have on a restricted diet (such as AIP) is that they start to get bored with the limited options they have for food. When your diet is essentially reduced to meat, vegetables and a little fruit, you start to run out of ideas that don’t bore you to tears.
Food boredom is a real thing, my friends.
But fear not! I have taken it upon myself to create a collection of “flavor boosters” that can be added to your standard weeknight meals to take them up a notch and kick food boredom to the curb!
Say hello to this AIP and paleo-friendly Balsamic Rosemary Sauce. ? This luscious dressing can go with just about anything. Pork? Yup! Chicken? You know it! Beef?? Mm-hmm. Even vegetables? You better believe it!

AIP Balsamic Rosemary Sauce Ingredients

How to use this Balsamic Rosemary Sauce
Alright guys (and gals), here’s the most brilliant thing about this sauce: it can be used almost anywhere. Literally. Anywhere.
Too tired to plan dinner? Just grab a meat and a veg from the store on your way home, pop it in the oven at 425ยฐF, top with this sauce, roast a little longer and dinner is served.
What meat should you pick? Any of them. This sauce goes great with pork, beef, chicken and even fish! Mmmm salmon and balsamic rosemary sauce… brb, drooling… ?
But what veg should you pick? Again, any of them. Brussels sprouts? Broccoli? Cauliflower? Cabbage? Yup, yup, yup and yup! Any of those will work! But will it go with potatoes (if you’ve reintroduced them on AIP, or if you’re not following AIP)? Yup. Tomatoes? Affirmative. Carrots?! I guarantee you’ll love ’em!
You can’t go wrong!
