Chile and Herb Salt Substitute
Use this recipe to eliminate excess salt from your diet or to reduce the amount of salt in many recipes. It tastes the best, of course, when you grow and dry your own herbs, but commercially purchased dried herbs will work also. Try this mixture on baked potatoes, pasta, and vegetables—especially corn on the cob.
