Mama, dear, I know SO MANY folks I will pass this on to who will really appreciate it- and I'll make sure to credit you! Thanks in advance to you from them (and me too!).

You're very welcomed - it wouldn't hurt anyone to go low-salt or no salt once in a while. Not with today's eating habits!!

I'll have to try this sometime. I know that I use waaay too much salt, but it is so good!

I'll have to try that one. Here is the one I currently use which includes powdered Kelp (obtained online or in some health food stores) that adds the iodine and other health benefits. So far it is the only mixture I've been satisfied with as a salt substitute.

Salt Substitute (Kelp)

3 Tbs dried basil
2 Tbs dried savory
2 Tbs celery seed
1 1/2 Tbsp dried sage
1 Tbs dried thyme
1 tsp powdered kelp
1 Tbs dried marjoram

1. Powder the herbs in a grinder or blender.

2. Store in air tight container away from heat and light.

3. Use in soups, stews, eggs, meats, any recipes to replace salt.
