When you think about cutting calories, you may envision consuming foods that don't really fill you up or that are rather bland in taste. Eating nutritious meals that are low in calories does not need to be something that you dread. Use some chimichurri sauce to aid you in creating meals that contain a few base ingredients and that are simple to prepare.

Zesty Wraps

Corn or flour tortillas or gluten-free pitas can be used as the material that will hold wrap materials together. Chimichurri sauce contains fresh parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, cilantro, and garlic. A red variety of this sauce may contain cumin or red crushed pepper flakes. Both green and red sauce varieties can be used as a marinade or a condiment. Purchase sauce from a specialty food supplier who offers wholesale products. You may want to purchase this product in bulk from a wholesale chimichurri sauce supplier. Begin setting up your wrap by loading lean turkey or chicken slices, onions, low fat cheese, mushrooms, and lettuce onto a tortilla or inside of a pita. If you would like to use the wholesale chimichurri as a condiment, apply a layer of the garnish across one end of the tortilla or along the interior edge of the pita that all of the ingredients are encased in. 

Grilled Chicken Salad With a Kick

Grilled chicken strips are packed with protein, but may fall flat on taste if you choose to mix them with leafy greens or other salad ingredients that lack seasoning. If you want to avoid using a salad dressing variety, but would still like to add some spiciness to your salad, use chimichurri sauce as a marinade for the chicken strips. Chimichurri sauce can be consumed at room temperature or you can heat it up, if you would like your salad to contain both hot and cold temperatures.

Pour chimichurri sauce into a bowl. Use tongs to submerge grilled chicken strips into the sauce. Allow the chicken to marinate for a couple hours. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-covered plate. Wait a few minutes for the paper towel to absorb the excess chimichurri sauce. Fill a clean bowl with all of the ingredients that you are using to create the chicken salad. Since the chicken strips have been marinated, you won't need to add any oils or other toppings to amplify the taste of your salad.

About Me
Improving Your Specialty Foods Selection

When I started working in my uncle's grocery store, I realized his business model was a little outdated. Instead of adjusting his inventory to the times, he was still carrying products that nobody was buying, and this model was hurting business. I decided to update things with a fresh infusion of specialty foods. I met with a few vendors to discuss what they could bring in, and it was amazing to see how much they offered. We filled our shelves with interesting, high-quality products, and our customers loved everything. This blog is all about specialty foods, so that you can see why updating is important.
