Move over heavy, mayo-thick pink sauces—there’s a new condiment in town that’s all about the flavor without the food coma. Meet my Skinny version of the Pink Sauce: a tangy, slightly sweet, vibrantly hued sauce that gives you all the creamy comfort you love, but with a health-conscious spin. Think dreamy pasta sauces, dunkable veggies, and grilled proteins that taste decadent without derailing your goals. Here’s everything you need to know and how to use it.

What is Skinny Pink Sauce? Skinny Pink Sauce is a lighter version of the viral pink sauce trend—made by balancing a rich lower-fat creamy base, bright vinegar, and a touch of natural sweetener, and of course - something pink. The result is a silky, rosy sauce that’s versatile enough to be a pasta topper, sandwich spread, salad dressing base, or a dip for everything from potatoes to veggies.

Why it works

Lower-fat creaminess: Instead of heavy cream or full-fat mayo, Skinny Pink uses Greek yogurt, silken tofu, or a blend of low-fat sour cream with a splash of milk. This delivers that lush mouthfeel with fewer calories and more protein.
Bright acidity: A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar lifts the sauce so it never feels cloying.
Natural sweetness: A date, a touch of maple syrup, or a little agave balances the tomato’s acidity without refined sugar.
Flavor boosters: Garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt make the sauce sing. Fresh herbs like basil or dill add brightness.
Veg-forward color: Roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes give the sauce that irresistible pink hue and depth of flavor without overpowering the lighter base.

Ways to use Skinny Pink Sauce

Pasta: Toss with whole-wheat or chickpea pasta and roasted veggies for a quick weeknight dinner.
Protein topper: Spoon over grilled chicken, baked cod, or shrimp.
Sandwich spread: Swap mayo for Skinny Pink on wraps, burgers, or paninis.
Veggie dip: Serve with carrot sticks, cucumbers, roasted cauliflower, or air-fried zucchini.
Pizza drizzle: Add a cooling swirl to spicy or BBQ-style pizzas.
Salad dressing: Thin with a little water or lemon juice for a creamy, tangy dressing.

Nutrition perks

Lower in saturated fat than classic cream-based sauces.
Higher in protein when made with Greek yogurt.
Fits easily into calorie-conscious plans without sacrificing richness.
Customizable for dairy-free, low-carb, or higher-protein needs.

Storage and make-ahead tips

Keeps in the fridge for up to 4–5 days in an airtight container.
Freeze in ice cube trays for single-serving pops—thaw in the fridge before using.
If the sauce separates slightly after chilling, give it a quick whisk or pulse in the blender.
