So Long Sodium

Cutting out salt in recipes is great, but beware of the hidden sodium and salt in processed and convenience foods. For example, one packet of Ramen noodles = 1,600 mg sodium! Make dishes from scratch when you can, relying on herbs and spices for flavoring.

This is homemade salsa – easy to make and saves lots of sodium. The vegetables are fresh diced peppers, either no-salt-added diced tomatoes (drained) or chopped fresh tomatoes and diced red onion. The flavorful seasoning comes from a dressing of lime juice, red wine vinegar, garlic and cilantro.
