Your
dietician is right. Some condiments are low in fat and calories and really help
to brighten up a plate of healthy food. Just be careful as some condiments
contain a lot of oil or sugar. Here are
some example of condiments: -
Relish, Ketchup, Chili sauce, mint sauce, horseradish,
chutney, mustard, soy sauce, wasabi, salsa.
Yes. You can
do a lot with mustard and chicken but the most well known combination is a
honey, mustard and chicken combination.
Here is a
recipe example for you - enjoy and I hope it's tasty.
I think it's
a great idea to make your own ketchup. We do it sometimes and the adults
definitely prefer the taste of it to the shop bought stuff. The kids are taking
a bit longer to enjoy the flavor but I wont' give up.
Here's a
link to a recipe on the Farmers' Almanac site. They have recipes for several
condiments including ketchup;

This
question depends who you ask because there are aspects of ketchup that are both
positive and negative:
The pros:
Ketchup is a
low calorie sauce compared to some other condiments. It contains tomatoes which are cooked. They
are thought to contain an anti oxidant which could help lower the risk of heart
disease.
The cons:
Ketchup
contains both salt and sugar as some of its main ingredients and if you use
quite a lot of ketchup with your food it can be unhealthy.
In addition,
many companies now add corn syrup and flavorings to the recipe.
In summary - ketchup is delicious and certainly not bad for you like some foods but eat it in moderation.
Wasabi is a condiment that is in the horseradish and
mustard family. It comes from a plant that grows in the river valleys in japan.
It's very strong and hot and can be felt in the nasal passages.
It's really tasty with sushi but try it in small amounts until you are sure how well you tolerate it.
Hoisin sauce is a Chinese sauce that is quite thick
and sweet and is used to flavor dishes such as noodles, beef and stir fries.
It's salty and sweet and can really add character to a dish but not everybody
likes it as it's very strong.
