More Herbs, Less Salt Day promotes use of healthy herbs over salts.
Late August is a very appropriate time to celebrate this special day. The harvest of garden herbs is at a peak. There's nothing better than fresh garden herbs in your favorite recipes.
In honor of this herby holiday, I wanted to share some ideas for replacing with herbs in your cooking. I am a firm believer that adding spicy heat is NOT a replacement for salt. Yes, spicy is good, but simply heating up my mouth to a fire temperature, not replace a good sea salt. A little bit of cayenne pepper can enhance flavors without heating up the whole dish. Use a light hand. Another flavor that enhances the natural salt taste in foods is lemon. Add some powdered lemon peel and powdered cayenne pepper to your salt free mixes. I found a super recipe using only herbs at About.com guide to Home Cooking. Peggy Trowbridge Filipone offers a tasty looking recipe for an herbal salt substitute. If you are interested in a no salt/low salt alternative, remember these tips:

- Add your salt before serving or at the table! No need to salt as you go, many diners will add their own salt before they even taste it. Which is another good reminder: TASTE your food first!
- Add naturally salty or salt enhancing tastes to your herb mixes. These include Dulse or other seaweeds, lemon and a bit of cayenne.
- Do give yourself a chance to learn to like salt free or low salt foods. Your taste buds get used to all that extra sodium, and need a chance to readjust.
- If you are looking for low salt, try one of the many sea salts and grind it on your foods. The taste is less salty and delicious!
