I rarely salt anything, I haven't for many years. The only thing I can think of is popcorn, and that's only if I don't have any grated cheese to add to it. I don't avoid salt in prepared foods, I just prepare my own without it.

Nothing. I add salt while I'm cooking. I never salt at the table. I also don't salt when eating out.

Maybe hard boiled egg in a chef salad.

Mostly fresh raw foods like tomatoes, melon, citrus, etc. And to be totally truthful, anything my taste buds desire. I do not go overboard on anything and it is very rare I even have potatoes to salt in any form.

I know, it’s not a good habit.
Me, too. Pretty much everything but dessert. Well...maybe not salad, as the dressing or toppings are usually salty enough.

I do try not to salt too much during cooking, though. Do that, and everyone eating the meal is stuck with it, whether they like salt or not.

The only things I can think of are eggs, tomato and corn on cob. Probably baked potato, too, but it's OK without salt.

I eat the hearts of things like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, etc., dipped in salt, but that's a stand-up snack, not something I eat as a part of a meal.
Salt pretty much the same things you do, but there are a few other things. I do like to salt my meat. I think the secret is what we learned growing up or hopefully learned: taste before you salt. I am surprised at so many home we visit now days that do not use salt at the table.

We don't even have a salt shaker on the table. I season food as I prepare it. Only rarely do I add salt when eating out -- I'm much more likely to add a little hot sauce than salt.

I add salt as I cook, not when I bring food to the table. I use plenty. I'm not a saltophobe. But I do it while I'm cooking.
