I always love low-fat cooking hints, but they’re especially welcome this time of the year when we are all tempted to eat and drink just a bit too much!

The good people at American Roland Food Corp., a leader in specialty foods for more than 76 years, sent along the following tips for adding flavor with Dijon Mustard, a sometimes overlooked condiment with just 10 calories per teaspoon, zero fat, and less sugar than ketchup.

*Spice up traditional mayonnaise and cut the fat by simply mixing in a bit of Dijon before adding to those leftover turkey sandwiches.

*Brush Dijon mustard over chicken breasts before grilling for a spicy twist; add a touch of honey to the mustard before you brush, for sweetness.

*Top baked potatoes with Dijon vinaigrette–a lot less fattening than sour cream.

*Brush salmon with Dijon and a bit of olive oil before roasting.

*Adding a teaspoon of Dijon to your vinaigrette adds balance and a bit of zing.

*Take barbecue sauce up a notch with a touch of Dijon.
