  • About
One way to salt food is to use ingredients that are very salty. This is a form of seasoning. A great example is a Caesar dressing, which is seasoned with anchovy. The anchovy adds more than salt, but it does add salt, which enhances the flavors of the dressing.

This is something to keep in mind when you’re composing dishes. If a salad or a soup or stew needs a little something, instead of reaching for the ramekin of kosher salt, think about adding something salty—nuts, olives, salty cheese such as feta or Parmigiano-Reggiano, fish sauce (often called by the Thai and Vietnamese names, nam pla and nuoc nam), or bacon.
