Low Sodium BBQ Sauce

AuthorKelly Jensen
This low sodium BBQ sauce recipe is sweet & tangy, and great for marinating, barbecues, or slow-simmering meat with no salt added! This sauce is delicious on chicken, ribs, pork, or brisket.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup no salt added tomato paste
  • ¼ cup low sodium vegetable stock or beef or chicken
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard *see note
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • teaspoon liquid smoke

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, and stock. Whisk well until the tomato paste has dissolved into the sauce and is no longer chunky.
  • Add the brown sugar, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and liquid smoke to the bowl. Mix well again to combine.
  • Use sauce immediately, or store in an air-tight container (I like using mason jars with lids!) in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Notes

  • To reduce the sodium even more, you can substitute the 1 tablespoon of mustard for 1 teaspoon mustard powder. I like the texture of whole grain mustard, so I use it in this sauce, but mustard powder works just fine! I also have a low sodium mustard recipe you can make with mustard seeds from scratch.
