In celebration of More Herbs, Less Salt Day let’s talk ways to add flavor without adding a lot of sugar, fat or salt.

* Garlic and onion are obvious. Cook first to make flavor pop.

* Vinegar adds a nice acidic bite.  Many varieties are available.

* Liquid smoke replaces pork as seasoning.

* If you have limited knowledge of herbs and spices find a good spice chart.

* Citrus juice and zest add just a little tartness.

* Don’t forget salt free seasoning blends.

* Remember mustard comes in powdered or prepared forms.

* Marinades are easy to make.  They tenderize as well as adding flavor.
