What CAN'T you use Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning on? Hardly anything. There are so many options. Fresh roasted vegetables, an omelet, fresh avocado, salads, pizza, corn, etc. The list is basically endless...for those people who can have 80 mg of sodium in 1/4 of a teaspoon worth. And let's face it -- is anyone just using 1/4 of a teaspoon of this stuff? The answer is absolutely no one - unless you use Everything But the Bagel...and the Salt instead. You won't feel guilty using this on absolutely everything, because your food will taste great, but you won't be eating 3 Tbsp of salt.
In this case, it's pretty easy to recreate this gold with a much lower sodium content. The taste is there, but with a hint of salt, instead of 80 mg worth. All you need are the right mix of spices. Instead of the hefty 3 Tbsp of Sea Salt, use only 1/2 teaspoon. If you use only 1 Tsp of this stuff, your sodium content for this delicious blend will drop from 80 mg to 1 mg. It doesn't get better than that.
Keep in mind that this spice blend has become so popular that there are literally a ton of copycats out there -- even Costco has a version. I have also seen it in all the Kosher supermarkets locally, including Kol Save and Gourmet Glatt. I am sure yours has it as well. But none of them have Everything But the Bagel...and No Salt. (And that's a story for another blog post!)
