Ok, I saw a picture that flung a craving on me. Had some red in there which was probably bell pepper or could have been tomato. Just a light pasta salad that I can make sodium friendly so no cheese please. Maybe just olive oil, lemon juice, some bell pepper, green onion with a splash of red wine vinegar might do it.

Thanks Mama. I'll have to forego the sausage and the cheese though.

You're welcomed - can you use cooked chicken or turkey breast meat?

I sure can. It's just the processed meats that are so high in sodium. It just seems like everyone who makes sausage dumps a box of salt into it at the end of the process. Same for dairy products. There are some unsalted butters out there but they just gotta salt that cheese. Same with milk. It has too much salt in it. I use the "Original Coffee Mate" when a recipe calls for milk.
