What are some good substitutes for salt in cooking?

There are several great substitutes for salt, such as herbs, spices, lemon juice, and vinegar. What type of dish are you making?

I'm making a soup. I want to reduce sodium.

For soup, you can use garlic powder, onion powder, or even nutritional yeast for a savory flavor without the salt. Would you like more specific recommendations?

Yes, what about using herbs?

Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley can add a lot of flavor. Dried herbs work too, just remember to use them sparingly as they are more concentrated.

Thanks! Any tips on balancing flavors without salt?

Absolutely! Try adding acidity with lemon juice or vinegar, and sweetness with a touch of honey or sugar to balance flavors.
