Can anyone recommend a sauce to put on my vegetables - broccoli,cauliflower,carrots,peas,green beans etc? I'm looking for something ideally low in sodium - thanks - carlos

hi carlos, you might want to try a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and basil/mixed herbs. Very healthy!

Olive oil, crushed/chopped garlic, Italian Seasoning.

Butter crushed/chopped garlic.

Margarine/butter.

Cream, butter, flour or cornstarch, black pepper.

Cream, smoked sweet paprika.

Broccoli Casserole

hi Carlos. This is a marinade but i use it on veggies as a sauce also.

THAI MARINADE:
1/3 c. rice vinegar
1/3 c. water
2 tsp. low sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tbsp. fresh ginger, finely minced
2 tbsp. unsweetened, frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 tsp. Tabasco, optional

If you want to marinade them put vegetables in marinade in refrigerator for an hour or so and then simmer in pot or pan for six minutes or to desired taste.
