Whole 30 Whole30 Cocktail Sauce
Classic cocktail sauce is one of those condiments that seems simple until you flip the bottle over and find sugar hiding in the ingredient list. This version skips the sweeteners entirely, leaning on tomato paste, fresh lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar to build that punchy, tangy backbone you expect. A touch of coconut aminos adds a subtle depth that rounds everything out without any off-limits ingredients. The no-sugar-added horseradish brings the heat and sinus-clearing kick that makes cocktail sauce worth eating in the first place. It comes together in one bowl with just a whisk, and after a 30-minute chill in the fridge the flavors meld into something that tastes like it came from a proper seafood restaurant. Make a batch for a shrimp platter, a crab boil, or honestly just to have on hand — it serves six and disappears fast.
