The wife fixed these about a month ago and I was told not to indulge since it was high in sodium and off of my diet. You know about the human race and forbidden fruits. Well I'm no different. After 4 times, tweaking a little each time, here is what I have come up with:

3 cups carrots, sliced
1/2 cup onion, sliced
1/4 cup bell pepper, sliced
one 8 oz can No Salt Added (NSA) tomato sauce
4 pkts of Splenda
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp No Salt Seasoning (If you can't find it I have a recipe for it)

Boil the carrots for about 15 - 20 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper right at the last for just a minutes. Drain the water and add all the other ingredients. Let chill overnight in the frig.

Is anyone going to read this? I think there is an echo in this room.

Of course we are going to read this - and yes there is an echo - it happens. I just hope everyone cools off and this returns to normal.

I was making a joke about the Low sodium forum being empty and I was the only one who posted here very much. BTW Dilbert it's not a mystery recipe but a simple low sodium alternative to a usually high sodium item. It's actually very good. If you're talking about the "No Salt Seasoning" there is such a product but it's hard to find. The only reason to try it is if you are on a low sodium diet. If you're not why bother.

well it's not easy popping onto a site when tempers have flared - there is an echo here - but hopefully the little echo will post recipes and all will be well again - and as far as no-salt, low-salt recipes - just like no-fat, low-fat recipes - you can make any recipe as salty, sweet or fattening as you wish - I got a lot of recipes that we wouldn't eat because of low-fat, no-fat, etc. and I made them the way we are used to and everyone likes them - that's the best part of cooking - you can do anything you want!

This recipe is good if you are on a low sodium diet. Most marinated carrots are loaded with salt. I posted it in the "Low Sodium" forum since I thought thats where it should go. It is a good recipe but probably no better then most unless you are a heart patient. Then it becomes a really good recipe since it doesn't send you to the emergency room with congestive heart failure. I thought every recipe posted on the "Low Sodium" forum was there since it was "low sodium". The only thing special about it is that if you are a heart patient like me it won't kill you. That is what makes it a great recipe. If I would have posted it on the salad forum I would have stated it was for people on a low sodium diet. In the future when I post a recipe in the low sodium forum I will state up front that it is a low sodium recipe. I never thought my recipe would offend anyone so I appologize for posting it.
