SubstitutionOriginalReplacement
replace the seasoning salt with herb-only seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, celery seed, onion flakes, or finely chopped fresh herbs
- When
- recipe uses seasoning salt such as garlic salt, onion salt, celery salt, or pre-mixed spice blends with added salt
- Compensation
- increase acid or aromatics slightly because salt amplifies flavor that herbs alone may not replace
- Caution
- check pre-mixed spice blends because many contain added salt even when not labeled as seasoning salt
