You won’t miss salt if you use plenty of herbs and spices instead. Experiment with your own combinations of flavors, but be sure to add herbs sparingly at first; taste the dish as you cook it and add more as you like. You can also add a dash of lime or lemon juice to enliven up virtually any dish. Here is a list of foods and the herbs and spices suited to them.
