Flavoring with Herbs and Spices
Flavoring with Herbs and Spices -- Not Salt
From Elmo Barnes of Satansbreath.com
You won’t miss salt if you use plenty of herbs and spices instead. Fresh herbs are readily available at most supermarkets in the summer and have a wonderful flavor. Use three times as much of a fresh herb as you would of its dried counterpart. Experiment with your own combination 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 virtually any dish. Here is a list of foods and the herbs and spices suited to them.
