When you prepare a meal for family and friends, you want it to be tasty and look great! But what if you are also trying to limit your salt intake?
Here are some ideas to make this hot weather menu sizzle without all the added salt!
Grilled Chicken: Try your own herb blend on the chicken, or choose a ready-made brand that does not have salt. Mrs. Dash® Chicken Grill flavor might be good. Add extra red or cayenne pepper if you like your summer meal even hotter!
Homemade Dressing: Whisk together a homemade low sodium salad dressing. Start with an empty jar. Mix 2/3 cup olive or canola oil and 1/3 cup vinegar (any flavor). Add herbs to taste like basil, oregano, garlic and onion powders.
Make the most of every meal as you slowly learn to enjoy new flavors – without the salt!
