Converting recipes to low sodium.

This is my personal method of converting recipes and I call it the 4 Shuns. BTW (NSA) means "No Salt Added".

1. Omissions (just leave an ingredient out).
2. Reductions (Calls for 1 Tbs of Worcestershire, use 2 tsp.)
3. Substitutions (Calls for 1 cup ketsup use 1 cup NSA tomato sauce).
4. Extentions (Adding a low sodium item to lower the sodium per serving).

When I lower the ratio of one ingredient to raise the amount of another of lower count it's really just using number 2 and number 4. I have lowered the amount of carrot in jfains "Moorish Crunch Salad" in favor of more apple and radish since the carrot contains more sodium.

Thanks for the helpful hints JP. I hope I never have to go as low-sodium as you have had to, but it would in no way hurt any of us to make a concerted effort to lower our sodium intake!
