We are always looking for low sodium sauces to enjoy on our food. Just becuase something doesn’t have salt, it doesn’t mean it is flavorless… this chimichurri proves it! The radish, fresh herbs, garlic, spices, and vinegar all bring a ton of flavor to the table without the saltshaker. This no salt sauce is beyond flavorful!
What’s In This Radish Sauce Chimichurri?
- Radishes: with the tops, if you can find them. I used fresh radishes from our garden (they are super easy to grow, BTW!) and roughly chopped the roots and greens for this sauce.
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Parsley: A whole bunch, stems included. This is a great way to re-use parsley stems instead of throwing them in the compost.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this delicious Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Red Wine Vinegar: I used red wine vinegar for the marinade to give this dish a really nice bright Mediterranean flavor – for that, this red wine vinegar is my go-to!
- Oregano: for a nice earthiness, I like to add this oregano to my recipe. I love the bold earthy flavor of the oregano, it really gives this a kick!
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! if you don’t like spice, you can absolutely skip them in this recipe.
