It will not taste: very good. Not likely to cause any harm except just thirst. Try cutting up several raw white potatoes into fourths and putting them into the sauce. Do not cook, just let them sit and absorb the salt. It may take several hours of sitting in the refrigerator but should reduce the salt enough to make in more palatable. Good luck.
