Fresh Aromatics vegetables - including onions, leeks, scallions, shallots, celery, ginger and garlic — are what I like to call the building blocks of flavor in food.
Dried Chili Peppers - A prepared chili paste may contain a bit of sodium, but will pack so much concentrated flavor into a dish that you will not need to add extra salt.
Fresh Herbs - are my favorite flavor vehicles when spring comes around.I love adding basil, mint, tarragon or chervil to already-cooked dishes to brighten the flavor and add a pop of color.
Finish with Citrus - Fresh citrus juice may be the best kept secret of health-conscious cooks for adding flavor without salt.
