Tip #16: To salt or not to salt. That is the question.

Unless baking, I almost never salt a meal while cooking. I know that it may be more bland but I personally like to taste the fresh vegetables naturally in my food. You know how people say with spicy food that they'd rather taste their food?

Here in New Mexico, restaurants douse the food in red chili, green chili or Christmas. Out of habit and fear, I always ask for it on the side so that I may be able to determine how much I want.

I believe in putting the salt on the table so that people can salt to their own taste. This act of salting never hurts my feelings, so when you come over to eat at my home next time, feel free to salt away.
