Try:
  • Pepper
  • granulated Garlic
  • Minced/Dehydrated Onion!!! (both ore dehydrated not fresh)

If you want more of BBQ flavor add Paprika to the list above.

If u want Mexican or Tex-Mex flavor add a light/pinch amount of ground Cumin and some Chili Powder to the list above.

None of that will replace salt BUT it will be flavorful minus the salt.
