Key Features

Tomatillos are 1 of Mexico’s best-kept secrets. Peel back their papery outer husks and they look like tiny green tomatoes. Bite into them and you get a tart, bright blast of citrus flavor. Roast them, as in this recipe, and you get a sweet, tart, smoky sensation.

This recipe combines roasted tomatillos with avocado, shallot, garlic, and hot-sweet jalapeno. (Add this to taste, or leave it out if you don’t like the heat). The chicken is rubbed with a mix of honey, garlic, and lime zest, briefly pan-fried, then finished in the oven.

Country Gravy Pork Chops is packed with nutrients and only 350 mg of sodium. So while Southern cooking has a reputation for being tasty but unhealthy, with some dishes being salt bombs, this recipe proves it doesn't have to be.

Collard greens, a Southern staple, add fiber, flavor, and lots of vitamins A and C. And while many Southern recipes are tasty but fatty, this recipe uses oven-roasted diced potatoes and a lean, tender pork chop.

This recipe instructs you to salt and pepper to taste when you’re done roasting the potatoes. Note that this salt content isn’t included in the sodium count.

Nutrition	Calories: 560 cal Sodium: 350 mg Fat: 19 g Carbs: 53 g Protein: 46 g

Cook collard greens: Add collard greens to the pan with water, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Uncover and cook until tender and water evaporates, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. Cook pork: Coat seasoned pork in flour and Cajun spice mix. Sear in the same pan with olive oil for 3-6 minutes per side until cooked to desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes. Make gravy: In the same pan, cook reserved onion with flour, then add stock concentrate and water. Simmer until reduced, then stir in sour cream and season.

7. Mediterranean Skillet Chicken W/Bulgur Paella – Mediterranean Low-Sodium Meals

HelloFresh's Mediterranean Skillet Chicken

Key Features

297 mg sodium per serving
Total cooking time: 30 minutes
Cooking difficulty: Easy

HelloFresh prepares this paella with bulgur, a nutritious, fiber-filled grain that cooks up tender and chewy in this recipe. And while the Vegetarian paella above was inspired by Spanish cuisine, this recipe looks to Mediterranean North Africa and musky, sweet dried apricots.

This recipe isn’t difficult to cook if you follow instructions, but you need to make sure you have a zester and peeler on hand. That’s because this skillet chicken relies on the bright floral tang of lemon zest.

HelloFresh rates this recipe “Easy,” but its preparation is very similar to the Vegetarian paella listed above, which is rated “Medium.” You should always read through HelloFresh recipes before you start cooking, and decide for yourself if the recipe is too complicated for you.

Nutrition	Calories: 508 cal Sodium: 297 mg Fat: 10 g Carbs: 62 g Protein: 50 g
Ingredients	Carrots, chicken breasts, bulgur wheat, zucchini, dried apricots, parsley, lemon, chicken stock concentrate, red onion
Essentials	Olive oil, salt, pepper
Utensils	Peeler, zester, large pan, baking dish
Method	Prepare ingredients: Wash and dry produce. Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice carrots into half-moons, dice onion, chop zucchini into ½-inch pieces, roughly chop apricots, and zest and halve lemon. Cook carrots and zucchini: Sauté carrots and zucchini in an ovenproof pan with olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper, then remove and set aside. Start bulgur paella: In the same pan, sauté onions with olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add bulgur and apricots, stirring to coat in oil. Add water and stock concentrate, bringing to a boil. Finish bulgur paella: Stir in cooked carrots, zucchini, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered in the oven for about 10 minutes until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed. Cook chicken and serve: Sear seasoned chicken breasts in a separate pan with olive oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Serve chicken on top of the bulgur paella, garnish with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

8. Persian-Spiced Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl – Low-Sodium & Middle Eastern

HelloFresh's Persian-Spiced Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl

Key Features

241 mg sodium per serving
Total cooking time: 35 minutes

This meal is an atypical Middle Eastern recipe. Food from this region is great, true, but many Middle Eastern recipes are heavy on sodium. While olives may be off the menu on a low-sodium diet, this Persian-Spiced Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl will give you a vegetarian flavor extravaganza without a lot of salt.

In this dish, the combination adds fragrant floral notes that heighten the sweetness of the sweet potatoes, while the pepper and paprika add some zing to the mild cauliflower and nutty quinoa. And as an added bonus, many of these spices have anti-inflammatory effects.

The Persian spice blend used in this recipe is called baharat and you can buy it in Middle Eastern stores or online. Baharat combines cumin, coriander, and turmeric with a touch of smoky paprika and black pepper.
