Recipes for high blood pressure that still taste of something

Most salt in a typical diet comes from packaged food, not the salt shaker. These recipes cook from whole ingredients and get their flavour from herbs, citrus, garlic and spices, in the spirit of the DASH diet.

What Gluten watches for: salt, stock cubes, soy sauce, cured meat, cheese and other high-sodium packaged foods.
