There are many spice/herb blends that that will add a big flavor boost
but that contain no added salt. Look Through the Penzeys no added
salt blend list. My favorite is first on their list; "adobo".

I don't like the term "salt-free" because there is no such thing as
salt free food... the correct term is *no added salt*.

Another option is to use vinegars and/or fresh citrus (lemon/lime/
orange). And some foods are naturally high in salts/glutamates, like
tomato and mushrooms.

You don't say why you are desirous of eliminating salt from your diet
but keep in mind that there is no such thing as a salt-free diet, all
foods contain salt and you need salt to live. So you may want to
consider simply using less salt.
