This week is world salt awareness week so I’m happy to take the chance to share some tasty low salt recipes with you, these will give you healthy eating with low salt in each recipe but still plenty of taste.
I’m sure many of us have been in the position of trying to reduce salt, but not sure how to maintain the flavour in our food. Throughout pregnancies, I always get slightly higher blood pressure and need to reduce my salt to combat this, and of course when cooking for the whole family it’s better to reduce salt for the young children.

That looks amazing, I rarely use salt in cooking but I do use a lot of herbs and spices. Defnitely the healthier alternative.
That looks delicious. I never use salt when I’m cooking for the children too (much to my OH’s annoyance!).
I’m not a huge fan of prawns, but that looks amazing! I might even give it a go – I love a homemade curry x
That sounds lovely, I never use salt in anything, OH adds to his dinner with me tutting all the while. Herbs and spices all the way.
This looks spectacular.
Mmmm- I might give this a go. We don’t eat enough fish as we have a freezer full of our own home produced meat but this looks a very tempting way to get me to buy something from the sea!
I LOVE prawn curry! And I always worry about getting it from the local takeaways, as I know that seafood can make you poorly if it’s not done right….will give this a try at home instead!
That looks like a gorgeous recipe, I reckon even the kiddos would eat this!
That looks yummy – may have to try this. I do use some salt – especially now the girls are older. #blogclub
We don’t use salt at all but I still have borderline high blood pressure. Hubby doesn’t like prawns, but this looks delicious! Would it also work with Quorn chicken pieces?
Looks really delicious #recipeoftheweek
That looks lovely! I never add salt to anything, there is enough naturally occurring salt in food anyway. #recipeoftheweek
This looks amazing! I really have to cut down on salt in my diet, and spices can make a great substitute for salt as a way to boost flavour.
Just found you via #recipeoftheweek on amummytoo.co.uk. This recipe is right up my street and your images are beautiful.
Looks amazing, I love prawn curry. I had no idea it was salt awareness week, I do now 🙂
This looks incredible, I’m always on the hunt for low salt dishes to share with the kids, I’ll definitely be trying this one out.
