Salt-Free Recipe Challenge

Salt-Free Canada is issuing a challenge to culinary arts students, dietitian and nutrition students and Canadians across the country to develop salt-free recipes. The goal is to feature a number of these recipes in a special Salt-Free Canada Cookbook.

The aim of the cookbook is to increase awareness of the need for salt-free recipes by featuring the next generation of dieticians, nutritionist, and culinary students in their formative years, while producing an accessible cookbook showing Canadians how to prepare nutritious and flavourful food without salt.
