Herbs and spices are a
great way to add flavor to a dish without adding sodium. Rosemary is an excellent
flavoring for potato dishes and other root vegetables like carrots and
onions. Adding rosemary to
spaghetti sauce will bring out the flavor of other ingredients. It is also a
great addition to tomato-based soups, stews and sauces. If rosemary isn't quite
up your alley, experiment with some of the other great herbs out there!
