Memorial Day Weekend is upon us and many people kick off this unofficial start of the summer with BBQ.  While BBQ sauces are delicious and add a special zing to a cookout, it’s not the best thing to have while on a kidney-friendly diet.  The folks at Davita understand this and offer an excellent recipe for a BBQ sauce you can use on grilled chicken, fish or even veggies!
