Top swaps at the BBQ
Try these clever swaps to make your meal lighter and healthier, without losing any of the flavour.
1. Swap tomato ketchup for tomato salsa
Ready-made ketchups often contain a lot of added sugar. Instead, toss together 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 diced red onion, 1 deseeded and diced red chilli, 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Use it on burgers and hot dogs for plenty of fresh and zingy flavour.
2. Swap a burger bun for portobello mushroom caps
Swap burger buns for grilled portobello mushroom caps. Their meaty taste and texture make them a perfect match for juicy burgers, and they're a ZeroPoint food, so you'll have Points spare to spend on toppings instead.
3. Swap tortilla chips for veggie crudités
What would a barbecue be without dips? Serve them up with a selection of vegetable crudités such as pepper strips, baby sweetcorn and sliced radishes instead of regular crisps.
4. Swap BBQ sauce for a BBQ spice pot
Get all the BBQ flavour with none of the added calories or sugar with a BBQ Spice Kit. Rub it on burgers, steaks and veg for an extra delicious kick.
5. Swap butter for lime juice
It's tempting to brush a knob of butter over a grilled corn cob, but a good squeeze of lime juice and some sea salt will add plenty of flavour for no extra Points.
