New American is my absolute staple and comfort food. Naturally, I had to find heart-healthy replacements for salty sauces so that my dad and I could still eat burgers together! Here are a list of sauces that you can still have (if you find the right brand). Now my dad and I can eat burgers the deliciously complex and low-sodium way!
My "Healthy Heart Lists" change and grow as I explore new items. Check back for more updates or tips!

Worcestershire Sauce
Key Nutrition Facts (1 teaspoon) - Sodium:65mg /Cholesterol:0mg /Sat Fat: 0g
My Review: That tanginess of BBQ! Just a few drops of this in your meat dishes and it will enhance the meat flavor. Guaranteed! I always add a few drops to ALL of my dad's meat dishes! A simple way to add a bit of dimension to low sodium and heart healthy dishes!
Where to Get it: Any grocery store, online or Amazon


Mayo
Key Nutrition Facts (1 Tablespoon) - Sodium: 75mg /Cholesterol:10mg /Sat Fat: 1g
My Review: Classic. I was certainly glad to know that mayo has a reasonable amount of sodium. For any dish (like a burger), just a 1/2 tablespoon will do! It still fits in with a low sodium diet!
Where to Get it: Any store
Magnifisauce
Key Nutrition Facts (1 Tablespoons) - Sodium:115mg /Cholesterol:10mg /Sat Fat: 0.5g
My Review: Great on a heart healthy burger! I think its basically thousand island sauce but lower sodium and OMG the taste is magnifique!

Wright's Liquid Smoke
Key Nutrition Facts (1 teaspoon) - Sodium:0mg /Cholesterol:0mg /Sat Fat: 0g
My Review: I LOVE this product! Liquid smoke adds just a touch of BBQ smokiness and dimension to your heart healthy dish without added "big bad 3" (sodium/cholesterol/sat fat). Sign me up!
