am currently on a very low sodium diet. i sure could use recipes that have a lot of flavor and no or very low sodium. been converting some of my faves, but could always use imput from my fellow cooks
Here is one I like
Mexican style corn on the cob...Heat a grill to med high. Combine two Tab. of reduced fat mayowith 1/2 tea chili powder,and 1/2 tea lime zest.Put in small bowl and set aside. shuck 4 ears of corn and grill 4-6 min. or til lightly charr thurn about 3 times Now spread with the mayo mix and sprinkle with a little parm and enjoy..cut the recipe down and make one or two ears.
enjoy,

Brussels sprouts with bacon,thyme and raisins
Trim ends of sprouts and cut in half combine sprouts with 1/2 cup low sodium chix broth in a large skillet,cover and bring to boil,reduce heat and simmer 5 min. Stir in raisins cook and stir uncovered 4-5 min or til broth is absorbed Stir in 1 slice cut up bacon (make it low sodium) now add 1 tab. thyme when sprouts are as tender as you like.sodium this way is 110mg.
I have more and some desserts. The desserts I haven't tried but they look pretty good especially the grilled banana.

how does chili-orange Talapia with brown rice and asparagus sound? there is 300 cals. 34gr.protein,34 gr.carbs,3.5 gr. fat 70 mils of cholesterol, 105 mils of sodium 4 gr. fiber
In a large skillet heat 1 cup oj,1 cup low salt chicken or veggie broth,1 TAB crushed garlic and 1 tea. of red pepper flakes I would use less. heat over med heat til mix reaches a simmer....add 4 tilapia fillets cover and simmer for 12-15 min.Remove fish seve with brown rice and asparagus This is probably more than one meal, but I bet some of the fish would make a nice taco as a second meal with some cabbage slaw.

These are diabetic recipes, I'll give you the sodium count on any recipe Just remember these are more than a serving recipes so can be cut down.parm. cheese is very salty as is most cheese. i am only allowed 2000 ( units,grams,) whatever. most foods have natural salt in them, that must be figured . milk, margine, and so on. celery is very high and carrots. the raisins are to high in sugar for the diabetes. i did have brussel sprouts and leeks with unsalted butter for dinner. am certainly interested in the dessert ones. i am amazed at how fast i reach 2000. i am enjoying the challenge of making tasty food that is also very low in sodium.
