Salt is a spice that we have hung on our palate since childhood, so the consideration of eating without salt is one thing we can’t even think about. But salt is not the only thing that can add flavor to our dishes, so we should think about learning how to prepare delicious dishes with little or no table salt.
This sounds inconceivable to us, but we assure you that if you read these tips below, you will learn very quickly not to add salt to your meals and they will still taste delicious. Remember that there are people who, if they serve their well-seasoned dish at the table without tasting it, add salt as if it were not there, with these tips it will no longer be necessary.
Since the foods we call junk food have a high salt content, you should learn to eat them but alternate them with other dishes without adding salt. To avoid all this, we are going to give you these tips that will make your meals tasty and truly exquisite.
1 – A good resource of lemon juice 🍋
The juice of a lemon is one of the best resources we have to avoid adding salt to our meals. It is important to know that lemon goes well with almost all dishes. You can make rice, a good salad or fish and add the lemon or even herbs to enhance the aromas and flavor. Always remember that lemon is sour, so we recommend using it discreetly.
2 – Mustard 🥣
In addition to being very pleasing to the palate, mustard goes very well with white and red meats. There are different formats, with the most commonly used being granular, powdery, or as a sauce. When you cook a dish in the oven, you can add the grains that will give your dish an excellent flavor. But you can also brush your meat with mustard and give it a kind of seal, making your meat a real delicacy and very tasty.
3 – Spices 🧄🌿
Spices can be used to invent, innovate and prepare a wide variety of mixtures. These mixtures accompany any meal you want to prepare. You can use them for the preparation of hot or cold dishes. So that you know which ones are the best in preparing a good mixture of them, we tell you that the tastiest and flavorful ones are garlic, basil, thyme, coriander, bay leaf, cumin, sweet paprika, oregano, parsley, black pepper and rosemary.
Each spice with different dishes:
Garlic: Serve them as a powder and chopped, and the flavor they add to your meals will be perfect, so you won’t be able to remember salt. It serves as a spread on meat that you put in the oven, or in the pan for sauces. Letting your imagination run wild is the best resource.
Basil: The best way to use basil is to make a sauce out of it. Basil pasta is the best known, but you can also add it to vegetables, meats and salads.
Oregano: It is best to add a lot of flavor to your sauces, as it harmonizes very well with tomatoes, but also to flavor a salad and add oregano is very tasty.
Thyme: It is very well used to add a lot of flavor to stews, white or red meats, eggs or salads, and to the filling of empanadas.
4 – There are different salts 🍙
The best resource is to make a good garlic salt. This salt is very easy to make and replaces table salt very effectively. To make it by hand, we simply peel 10 cloves of garlic, cut them very finely and sauté them in olive oil, once golden brown, we take them out of the pan and let them rest. After that, we put them in the mill and process them into powder. We calibrate this powder into any glass jar with a lid and from now on it will be the salt that you use with each of your meals.
